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.

The Missing Man Concert

In support of Missing American Servicemen and Their Families August 26, 2017

3S Artspace / Portsmouth, NH
 Featuring Joshua Tree

New England’s Own U2 Tribute Band W/Cash Bar & Silent Auction

The Event will be a rousing concert, preceded by a silent auction. Proceeds from this fundraiser will go to the Coalition of Families of Korean & Cold War POW/MIAs, a Portsmouth based, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, formed in 1998. The Coalition actively pursues the fullest possible accounting for American servicemen who remain missing in action from the Korean and Cold Wars. Our members are the families of these men. Together, we not only assist each other in our individual searches for information, but help shape the nature and extent of the broad effort to account, in a timely manner, for missing servicemen from all conflicts.

The Mission: Tens of thousands of American servicemen from WWII through Vietnam and the Cold War remain missing in action. Nearly 8000 men remain missing from the Korean War alone, more than 400 of them New Englanders. Families of all these servicemen have spent decades searching for answers about their loved one’s fate. The effort to account for them, and bring them home, is an ongoing mission.
