Paul Foley Obituary
He was born in Concord, the son of Paul and Nellie (Perry) Foley, and graduated in 1960 from Concord High School. Paul served in the U.S. Navy from 1960-1965 and was an outstanding salesman at John Grappone Ford for over 35 years.
Paul married his childhood sweetheart, Joyce Ford, in 1963, and raised four children, Timothy Foley of Manchester, Jennifer Tolbert of Los Angeles, Melissa O'Neill of Wilmot and Jason Foley of Warner. He loved and adored his grandchildren, Benjamin, Katherine, Timothy, Emilie, Meghan, Lilly and Molly.
Paul was a member of Alcoholics Anonymous, NH Tres Dias, The United Church of Warner, and hosted numerous Fresh Air Fund Children over the course of 30 years. Summers were spent at the family camp on Tucker Pond where all were made to feel welcome, especially with a cup of coffee. He loved his family, his friends, his work, traveling, and working in his yard with Lilly on his tractor. Paul was a man of great integrity, spirituality, honesty, and compassion.

A service of celebration and shared memories will be held Sunday, Dec. 15, at 1 p.m. at The United Church of Warner, with Rev. Bob Wyand officiating.

Dear Joyce,
So sorry to hear of Paul's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Paul was a good friend and classmate, and whenever we returned to Concord for a visit, I would always stop by to chat with Paul and munch on pop corn in his office at Grappone Ford. Paul will be missed but never forgotten by his friends.
GO IN PEACE MY FRIEND.
