Dave, Kathleen and family
When Jake and I first heard this sad, sad news, our memories quickly went back to Little League, the Dodgers and the 1993 State Championship.
I will always remember Dave as that feisty, smart, hustling kid, fun loving kid, who always made his teammates better. Oh yeah, he made them laugh as well.

That is how I will always remember Dave Foley.

Pat, Jake, Julia, Kat and I offer our deepest condolences in this difficult time.
