Ed Foley Obituary

Edmund S. Foley, 85, born Feb. 27, 1932, died peacefully on Aug. 28, 2017.

He grew up in the Mount Washington Valley and graduated from Kennett High School, Class of 1950.

He was a decorated veteran of the Korean War. When he returned stateside, he met the love of his life, Marilyn, and they were soon married 30 days later in Columbus, Ohio.

While he was still in the Air Force, he moved back to the valley. From 1953 to 1957, he worked on Mount Washington testing rocket engines for the government.

After that, he moved his family to Vandalia, Ohio, and became a police officer. Later, he worked in the Everglades for Pratt & Whitney, only to return to his beloved Mount Washington Valley, where he became co-owner of Foley Insulation.

Ed was post commander in the VFW of Albany, N.H., and was voted team all-state commander for New Hampshire. He loved being Irish, the mountains, skiing, Jameson, fishermen's platters and his dogs.

Ed was a dear friend to many, and he will be very missed.

He is preceded in death by his wife, Marilyn, and his son, Robert.

He is survived by his son, Ted Foley of Madison, N.H.; his best buddy, Kim of Madison; and his daughter, Elizabeth Foley Scott and her husband, Harold Scott.

Escort to Ed's internment. Steve Woodcock up front with American Flag, Ed's son Ted with the Irish flag and some of Ed's neighbors.
