Dr. Foley delivered my first child, Nicholas Ciccone. I was just about to send a Christmas card so he could see how well he is doing. He delivered Nick on December 4, 1996.
My thoughts and prayers go to his family.

Dear Family of Glenn,
My most sincere condolences on your loss.
I was one of Glenn's housemates, our senior year at Springfield College. We didn't keep in touch after graduating but I recently connected with our other housemate thru facebook. I learned of Glenn's passing while trying to also connect with Glenn.
Glenn was such a funny, easy-going, and gentle person. In 1983 he knew he wanted to be an OB/GYN. I'm happy to see that he was able to make that dream come true.
Again, my deepest sympathy to your family. I can only imagine how much he is missed by you.
Sincerely, Debbie (Plouff) Fabry

I only saw Dr Foley once as a patient (he was covering for my regular doctor) but I will always remember him for being the one to tell me I was pregnant...and that there were three heartbeats :) He only laughed and reassured us as my husband insisted that he stop joking and I told him his equipment must be broken...thank you Dr Foley.

I was very saddened to find out today that Dr. Foley had passed away. He had been my OBGYN for over 11 years during which time I had my second child. He was a very calm and reassuring doctor. I send my most sincere and heartfelt condolences to his family.

I only found out about Glenn's passing last month through colleagues at Valley Hospital.
I had the pleasure of treating both Glenn and his wife for back pain way back in the '90's when I was first in practice and they were a lovely couple. I only recall less than a year ago running into him at the local gym in Montvale working out. He looked great and we chatted briefly.
This was a shock to me-he had a great reputation amongst his patients and was well -like by colleagues and friends. I found him to be a most humble and easygoing physician -a true compliment from one who's in that type of business rendering close primary care to people.
Glenn will be missed by many, including me. I am truly sorry for his loss to Lisa and his family. My sincere condolences.

Dr Foley delivered both of my children and has been my doctor for over 13 years. During that time, I came to regard him as a friend. My deepest sympathies to his wife and children. He was a wonderful person and I know he will be missed by many, myself included.

I was deeply saddened when I got out my calendar to make my annual appointment to find out that Dr Foley had passed. He had been my ob since 2001 and I continued to use him when I moved up to Orange County, New York. He comforted me when I miscarried during my first pregnancy and then delivered two healthy babies. The day after each of my deliveries I thought it was so sweet when he showed up in the hospital wearing a blue tie for my son and 2 years later a pink tie for my daughter. We talked about his 4 kids, parenting advice, he asked me about my job, family. Now that my kids are older it is just a once a year visit. He will be missed. He was a kind, caring and smart doctor. Prayers to his family.

Sending my most sincere sympathy to the family of Dr. Foley, who delivered three of my four children. He had a very quiet dignity about him, and was a caring and compassionate physician. We often talked at length about the challenges and joys of four children. My deepest gratitude to the man who brought my kids into the world, and prayers for his family who must be missing him so terribly. I will always pray for your comfort.

I was so sad to learn about Dr. foley. He was kind, calm, and considerate. We were both from River Vale, and he always asked about the town. He delivered my first son, and he was so calm I did not think there was anything to be nervous about. We talked about our kids and families many times over the past 15 years. I will miss him and his kindness. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

So sad to hear that Dr Foley passed. He delivered my daughter in March of 2012, a miracle baby after suffering for 5 years with infertility, and was a rock in the delivery room. He calmed my first time mom nerves, and assured me everything was going to be ok. My condolences to his family.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Foley. He assisted with my surgery with Dr. Wang and was a consummate professional. He made me feel very relaxed prior to my surgery, as I was very nervous about it. He will sorely be missed. My sincerest condolences to his family during this very difficult time.

Over the few years I got to assist Dr. Foley with his financial needs. I did get to know him fairly when. I did say to Dr. Foley that I wished that all of my clents were as understanding, kind and freindly as himself. That statement did make him laugh and that made me feel good. He will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to his family.

Dr. Foley
I'm so very sad to hear of your passing. You delivered my children, checked on me in the hospital on a daily basis, and helped me keep my faith and sanity when I was on bed rest for 45 days. I will never forget you and will miss you dearly.
Heaven has gained another angel.
