Timothy Paul Foley's Obituary
Timothy Paul Foley, age 74 of Lewes, DE, passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 23, 2020 at his home. He was born on January 25, 1946 in West New York, NJ, son of the late Lester and Veronica Foley.
Tim was a graduate of both Monmouth College and Rutgers University. He built a career in sales and marketing with the DuPont Company before dedicating 27 years to the real estate business in Lewes. Tim's interests were many. He was an extensive world traveler and loved to regale friends and family with stories from his visits to places like Indonesia, Iran, Hong Kong and Peru. In his retirement, he enjoyed baking and cooking, and his pancakes were famous among his family and friends. Tim also enjoyed surf-fishing, reading, and listening to music on his high-fidelity sound systems. Tim found great joy in following his daughters' interests and adventures, living vicariously through their travels. Above all, he cherished time spent with those he held most dear. He was a loving and devoted father and friend who was loved by many and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Tim is survived by his beloved daughters: Hannah Foley and her husband Chris Moritz of Wilmington, DE and Abaigeal Foley of Lewes and Wilmington, DE; and his cousin, Peggy Baldwin of Princeton, NJ.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a celebration of Tim's life will be held next spring.
