Francis Foley Obituary

Craig and family,
I've been asking Bristol St neighbors how Peter was doing with little reaponse so I was very surprised seeing his obituary ! He was quite a guy who will be well remembered!!

Mr. Foley was great at teaching but even better at handling individual students. We could always tease him and give him a hard time and it would never rattle him and he was good at giving it right back! He let me get away with a lot because he knew if he busted me on everything I´d have broken the school record for suspensions.
He was a great dad as well, very involved with his boys. Kevin I don´t think he ever missed one of our football games. I´ll always remember walking into accounting class after stomping a mud hole into Clarkie and his Dolphins and him saying "you played quite a game yestaday Supah Stah" in his Boston accent.
RIP Pete!

On behalf of everyone at the Danbury Animal Welfare Society, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the Foley family on the passing of Francis Peter Foley. We are honored to be named as a recipient of memorial contributions in his memory. His legacy of love and dedication to others will live on through the kindness his remembrance inspires. Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.

With sympathy,

Mr. Foley was my typing teacher at Thomaston High School. He taught me a lifelong skill, one that is used extensively in our interconnected world. I still remember his typing instruction skills that he would dictate to us: "L, period, L, space; A, Q, A, space. . ." He made the class enjoyable. He was an excellent teacher and yearbook advisor. I was delighted when he was able to attend my THS class´ 50th year class reunion.
