Frank R. Foye

Frank Richard Foye of Norwood, age 74, passed away peacefully on November 17, 2023, surrounded by his loving family.

Frank was born in Boston where he lived for several years before moving to Hull, Massachusetts. He was the son of the late Daniel and Marion Foye, and

brother of the late Winifred (Dolly) Tirrell, Marie Jakubajtys, and Daniel (Sonny) Foye Jr. He had many nieces and nephews.

He was a 1968 graduate of Hull High School and later earned a degree in Political Science from the University of Massachusetts- Amherst in 1972.

He is survived by the love of his life, Beverly Foye. They recently celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary on November 2, 2023. Frank always believed they should ‘cherish each day together’.

Frank’s greatest joy was his children and grandchildren. He is survived by his 3 daughters, Kerry Silva, Kristy Foye & Katey Chambers as well as his son-in-laws, Michael Silva & Colin Chambers and his grandchildren, who he adored, Emma Grace Silva, Riley Frankie Chambers & Griffin Aiden Chambers.

Frank loved spending time with people, whether it be his family, friends or volunteering his time to help others. He was an animated storyteller, with a great sense of humor. He loved making people laugh. Frank was also a devoted fan of Elvis Presley. In his 30’s, he began to find his singing voice in church, which started his path into singing more professionally as part of a few cover bands and later becoming the “Singing DJ” for weddings (including for each of his daughters’). His friends and family will likely never be able to hear an Elvis song again without thinking of him. Frank’s favorite time of the year was during the summer months;  he would often spend each weekend driving the ‘tour’ around Nantasket Beach. He loved to park by the “Gut” next to Hull High School and look out onto the ocean. His family knows he is at peace now in heaven.

A Celebration of Life service will be held Saturday, December 9, 2023 at 11 am at the Trinity Community Church, 234 Walpole Street, Norwood.
