Barbara-Anne Foley wrote a sympathy message

“I met your Dad in the ER with one of his sons. We were there for hours & even though we were both sick he was quite the character and I told him I could have chatted with him for many more hours than we did. The irony was I work for the Cape & Islands Veterans Outreach Center literally right across the street from where he lived! We got him a bed, helped when he wanted it with our food pantry groceries and I chatted a few more times the last of which was Thanksgiving. I will miss him!”
