Half of your info is incorrect. He was my uncle and I can be contacted at 702-281-3033 to correct.
Vincent was my uncle. I am the daughter of his sister Julia. His older brother was Eugene not George and Vincent had no children. He received the Purple Heart as he lost him arm in Korea.
Vincent Foley’s older brother was named Eugene not George. There were no daughters named Maureen or Loraine because he never had children. During those years stated he was in Walter Reed recovering from losing his arm in Korea. And I seriously doubt he played a donkey basketball game in 1969 at Rye high School as he was in Bethlehem Pa. Working as an archeologist recreating the town of Old Bethlehem. Oh and my mother, his sister Julia was born in 1923. My uncles branch of service was the U.S. Army.
