[Editor's comment: I have known Pastor Jack Foley for almost 60 years. He, in my opinion, was a prince of pastors, a friend and mentor to young ministries. He was always kind to me, and invited me to peach in his church in Patrick Springs. He always had a smile on his face, and he welcomed people with open arms or love and acceptance. May God bless to our hearts and minds the memory of this great man of God. We send our love and prayers to his family in their time of grief.]
