Beloved husband of Diana for 53 years; loving father of Nancy Foley-Barber, Stephen (Kelly) Foley, and Katherine Foley; proud grandfather of Maggie, Jack, Estelle, and Eloise; brother of William (Cindy) Foley, and the late Jane (late Adam) Stasik.
A mountain of a man in every sense, Jim was passionate and possessed a boundless Irish gift of Blarney. Jim loved roaring campfires, and raising a glass with his many beloved friends. As a founding member of The Muzzleloaders at The Oakland County Sportsman's Club, he was honored for a lifetime of outstanding service.
Jim was proud of his military service, his 30 year career as a HVAC tech at Pontiac General Hospital, and most of all, his beautiful wife and dedicated family.
