God Bless Mr Foley. I was honored to take care of him at Manor Care. He was a great person. And a fellow Canaryville Cousin. He loved to tell me about how he was born in Canaryville on 48th street. And that he was soo happy to hear about the old neighborhood.What a wonderful special soul he was!!!!!! May God Bless and keep him. MaryEllen Enright Negrete Manor Care Respiratory Therapist.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Foley was my minor league baseball coach back in the old days of Byrnes-Wagner Little League. He also took us up on the snorkel at 57th and Halsted. I'm just glad I had the opportunity to thank him later on. He was the ultimate gentleman.

I will always remember Uncle Don as the nicest uncle anyone could have. When I came in from playing outside, he would tell me I looked all streakedy kid. Then he would stand me on our toilets seat, tell me to stand straight like a soldier and wash my face. No matter where I sat in school, he told me it was the dummy row. He would ask me if there were any cute tomatoes in my class. And no matter how many times I tried, I could never beat him in a quick draw with my gun, because he was already blowing the smoke off his gun. I am lucky to have had lots of great uncles, especially uncle Don and I will miss him a ton. Your nephew Patrick
