Christopher Foran Obituary

Christopher M. Foran, 52, of Douglas passed away suddenly on January 3, 2011 in Maui, Hawaii surrounded by family and friends which was his last wish.

He leaves his sister Janice Guiou and her husband Robert of Douglas, MA, his brother Charles Foran and his wife Genie of Foxboro, MA, nieces; Julie Jackson, Melissa Pineo, Stacey Melanson, and Lauren Trotta, nephew William Foran, 4 great nieces, 3 great nephews, and his best friend for 40 years Dana Kagno.

He was born in Boston on April 16, 1958 and was a graduate of Weston High School. Chris loved his summers in North Truro with his sister and brother-in-law as he always said to Rob, "You're not only my brother in law – you're my brother" and he loved his many friends. He loved to go to the beach, his art of sculpting with clay, walking the dogs, painting and watching cartoons with his friend Mark. He also enjoyed going out to dinner with Annie and having dinner over anyone's house who ever were cooking that night. He loved and cherished his two cats Molly and Lucey. They went everywhere with him, they were his children. His yearly highlights were the trips to Jamaica and his trips to Hawaii. He was a member of the Lions Club in Hopkinton MA.

Chris we all love and miss you so much. You brought something special to all of us and touched us in all different ways. Thank you for your kindness.

There will be a memorial Mass for Chris on Saturday February 5, 2011 at 11 AM in St Denis Church, 23 Manchaug St., Douglas, MA.

In Lieu of flowers, please send donations to Umass Memorial Transplant Patient Assistance Fund, Umass Medical School/Umass Memorial, Development Office, 333 South Street, Shrewsbury, MA 01545.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Chris was a great friend and I will miss him very much. He had the greatest sense of humor and was always willing to help others who needed help. He was a gifted person in many ways. It was my pleasure and privelege to be a friend.
