John was a wonderful teacher and friend. He did many things for PHS and the town of Phillipsburg including the Firth Youth Center. As a friend, he gave me the best wedding gift which was a set of hand tools. When my baby daughter went from a crib to a bed, the bed needed repair, and John volunteered to fix it. He did his usual perfect detailed job. I very much value his friendship, and he left me with very fond memories God bless you John. You are one of thE finest of the good guys. ,

John B Foley..God Bless.Certainly one of the good ones..I know God has a place for you

John B and I spent a lot of time taking and developing pictures while I was in school from 1961 to 65. We went to football games wrestling matches, basketball games and event made a huge Susie paper mascot for the Halloween parade. He was a good man and teacher. Rest In Peace.

So sorry to hear of John´s passing. I have many fond memories of John and Shirley from hosting Christmas Eve celebrations when the kids were little, weekends at the cabin watching bears and John´s selfless giving of his time and knowledge to the Cub Scout Troop that his grandson Chris and my son were members that Kathy and I were den Mothers of. John was a kind man that will surely be missed. Condolences to the family. Ann LaMell / Michael Boczon
