FOLEY,
Christopher
Columba
Passed away at home, on Good Friday, April 14, 2006, at the age
of 80, in the High Park neighbourhood where he lived for more
than 40 years. Christopher was born in Kells, County Meath, Ireland
on May 10, 1925. He was the beloved father of Margaret
FOLEY
and devoted husband to his late wife, Anne Teresa, née
CLIFFORD.
He is survived by his loving wife
Marie
Terese, née
BONENFANT.
Christopher was known affectionately as Christy by his wide circle
of Friends, many of whom shared his passion for Irish culture.
His was a life marked by a devotion to those institutions that
nurtured the values he held dear, among them, the Catholic Church,
the St. Vincent de Paul Society and numerous Irish social organizations.
Although he moved away from his native Ireland as a teenager,
Christy carried his roots with him wherever he went. He flew
to Canada in 1948 on one of the early trans-Atlantic flights
in search of greater opportunity. It was in Toronto that his
enterprising spirit rose to the fore. Christy worked for C.N. Rail
and the Royal York Hotel. Saving enough to buy his first home
within six months, Christy turned it into yet another opportunity
- becoming a landlord and giving other young Irish men a roof
over their heads. He worked with the Metro Toronto Waterworks
Department for 30 years and continued a close relationship with
fellow retirees through the rest of his life. Family, work and
his many community activities filled his days. Sickness did nothing
to quell his stubborn streak nor dash his great love of travel.
Christy will be sorely missed and fondly remembered. He leaves
behind his cherished sisters-in-law Margaret
HERRING,
Evelyn
FOLEY and longtime family friend, Mildred
CREGAN. He is also
survived by his loving nephews and nieces and their families:
Ray FOLEY, Ann
PALEN, Brian and Thomas
HEGARTY, Thomas
CARROLL,
Peter, Gerard and Michael
O'LOUGHLIN and Angela
BYRNE.
Christy,
the youngest of six children born to Margaret
SMITH and Thomas
FOLEY, is predeceased by all his siblings, Kathleen, Gerty, May,
Lily and brother Paddy. Special thanks to his doctor, Eckhart
SCHWEIHOFER and Margaret
GORECKI, the home care worker who became
such a good friend. Visitation for our beloved Christy will be
held Tuesday, April 18 and Wednesday, April 19 from 2-4 and 7-
9 p.m. at the Turner and Porter Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor Street
West, Toronto, at Windermere Ave., east of Jane subway. Funeral
Mass will be held Thursday, April 20 at 10: 30 a.m. at Our Lady
of Sorrows Church, 3055 Bloor Street West. In lieu of flowers,
donations in the name of Christopher Foley to the St. Vincent
de Paul Society or ShareLife would be much appreciated.
