I´m always thinking of you, Kathy. Your Dad is always with you... Love, Kathy Butler Longano Victoria, Australia

Until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

The time: December 24, 1942. Dan and I were stationed at the Bedford Springs Naval Radio School in Bedford Pennsylvania learning how to become navy radiomen. On this date we asked the rather strict commanding officer if we could be excused that night to sing midnight Mass. Normally, all men who had liberty that night had to be back at the base by 9 PM. We got the CO to okay our being away from base until 3 AM Christmas day.
After Mass, Dan and I and the choir were invited to the...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dear Kathy,
Your Dad's mass yesterday was beautiful... Your brother's eulogy was delivered so passionately... I had no idea your brother could sing so well... Yes I see why your family calls you THE PRINCESS as you are truly a princess in your Dad's eyes...
Love Kathy Butler Longano

Our thoughts and prayers are with you on the passing of your father. May he rest in the peace and love of God.

My deepest sympathy to the family of my favorite senator. When I was a young town administrator in Hopedale I could always count on the man with the mile wide smile. He took the time on a sunday afternoon to join me and my family when I left Hopedale for a new career. I still have his Senate Citation on the wall in my office. We could all us his guidance right now.

Kathleen and Dan (and Tim and Pat), I always considered the Foley's and especially your Dad, the gentleman from Worcester, honorary Bostonians.

Mr. Foley, You and your wife were always so kind to me, especially at Halloween handing out extra candies. You always had a special smile and so genuine. I will never forget you. Rest in peace.
