Sorry to hear of John’s passing ~ prayers for you & your family as you begin the journey of grieving his loss. I will always cherish the wonderful memories of living on Brooks Court. A neighborhood knit together by raising children, helping each other through the highs & lows of life & 17 neighbors/friends living together in one room for 3 days through the blizzard of 1978! And, having lots of fun through it ♥️

John blessed my life by allowing me to care for him on many occasions. He and Shirley brought me many smiles along the way and I am so grateful. I will always hold a special place for this family in my life and I thank you Shirley for the privilege to be with you during this difficult time as you cared for your husband. You showed him great love by honoring him through his illness. May Jesus grant you and your family peace.

Shirley,
We were so sorry to hear that John passed. We were the best of friends in Willard and continued the friendship from afar. I guess I am now the lone survivor of our great trip to Florida to seek our fame and fortune back in the late 50's. We always joked about that big adventure when we got together.

I am saddened to hear of John’s passing. I have very fond memories of John growing up. My Dad, Tom and his family were from the same neighborhood in Brooklyn. When Johns sister Jerri married my mom’s brother Bill , the family’s spent many good times together. In the early 50’s jobs brought both families to OHIO . ONE MEMORY I CAN SHARE , is that twice a year dad, John and Gene would take a weekend and wash all the windows at the PRECIOUS BLOOD MONASTERY AS A GIFT TO THE SISTERS. May he rest in Pease. My prayers for the entire Foley Family.???❤️ Mary T Ware (Prendergast)
