Never forgotten...

Amazing teacher who really invested in their education. One of the best teachers I ever had!

Rest in peace, Mr. Foley. Will never forget you.

There are so many things I can share about Mr.Foley. I was one of his students from 1996-2000. He always loved and cared for all of his students. Shared his wisdom and love for photography, especially taking pictures of the bears in Alaska eating the salmon. He would always tell us there are two important things in life, and they are who you marry and what you do for work. The funniest thing I remember is come every Friday he would always say, remember no alcoholic beverages or controlled...

So very sorry to hear of Mr Foley's passing. He was a great man and a great friend of my Dad, Charlie Favreault. Surely, he will be missed. Prayers for your family's strength and comfort during this most difficult time.

Frank, Rose and family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Dad would tell us SO many funny stories about Frank and Jack...We loved to hear them and would laugh! The snake story involving Dickie Coombs (I think it was him!) getting constricted by Jack’s Boa Constrictor made us both belly laugh and be terrified for him!! I bet Jack is up in the Heavens challenging Franny and Freddie L’Esperance to a free throw challenge!! We KNOW who’ll win THAT! Rest easy, Jack...say hi to my Dad and...

Gail so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in your memories. Stay strong.

Gail and family,
My deepest sympathy on the passing of Jack.As a life long friend and principal of Jack's at South High, I have good memories of him being a caring and giving teacher and colleague. Hopefully your memories will help see you through the days ahead and give you comfort. May he be at peace and know that his memory lives on in so many people lives he touched.

Gail, Frank, Rosemary, and Jack’s children, please accept my condolences upon the passing of a unique and wondrous gentleman. Jack Foley was sui generis. If you asked a million people to identify Dr. Raymond L. Ditmars, I would guess that not one would be able to. But, I’ll also suggest that Jack knew all about Dr. Ditmars by the time he turned 15. His breadth of knowledge was remarkable, and his ability to entertain his friends with that knowledge was beyond compare. I was one of thousands...
