Dear Teresa:

So sorry to hear about Keith. I met both of you at IU back in Feb. I am being treated for AML also. I thought he was doing better & that he would beat this. Thanks for taking time to talk to me. Best regards.

Foleys,
It is with deep sadness that I read about the passing of Keith. The fond memories that I have of Keith and Kurt on the basketball court at Clay H.S. eases some of the sorrow, but is pale compare to those of I have of the Foley family, Doc, a true legend in the medical community and Peg the kind of mother they write books about, and their boys. God. Bless them all.
My condolences to Teresa, Doug, Kurt and Ian.
Coach Bitsko,

Teresa, such a gift to my boys to have reconnected with Keith on the docks. He was a true mentor and friend. He sparked an interest in mathematics in our Will and encouraged him to pursue engineering. He always seemed to know when to challenge Michael. Keith's passing is so very hard for all those lives he touched. We are here for you as you walk this walk. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Much love from the Amors

Our family sends you our prayers and sympathy. Mr. Foley was our neighbor when they lived in Nappanee. More importantly, Mr. Foley was one of our daughter's favorite teachers when she was in middle school. She is now a teacher herself and she told us last evening that some of the math that he taught her when she was a student in his classroom help her as she instructs her own students today.
Sincerely, The Shaw Family

I am so sorry for your loss. I taught with Keith at Nappanee and had so much respect for him, his positive influence on his students and his genuine compassion for others. He will surely be missed, but most of all he will be remembered for the positive impact he has made on so many young lives.

Dear Theresa and the Foley family,
There are no words to truly express the caliber of a man that Keith embodied! A true gentleman and the kindest soul to all who met him. God must have really needed him as an angel to call him home at this point in his life. May Keith rest peacefully with his parents. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
With friendship and prayers,
Maureen VerVaet

Many people within the St. Jude community have Keith's family and the Corpus Christi community in our thoughts and prayers. It is so hard to comprehend how suddenly all of this came about. Keith was a true friend to those who were fortunate enough to make his acquaintance and all of us continued to view him as a valued colleague and fellow educator.

Theresa , I was so sorry to hear about Keith. He was a good man and friend to everyone at school. He was always willing to help a teacher or student with any job needing done. In all the years that we worked together, I don't ever remember him raising his voice to any student, no matter the offense. He will be missed by so many at school. His legacy will live on at Corpus. You have my deepest sympathy. Chris
