Obituary: Peter B. Foley, 62, of Wilton

Peter Foley of Wilton CT died at home Thursday February 23 surrounded by his family. He was 62 years old. Anyone who knew Peter understood they had met someone special. He was the kind of man who made friends for life. It seems too little to say Pete was witty, or fun, or warm. He was unexpectedly hysterical, loving, and kind, traits that never left him to the end.

His wife Marianne knew what a wonderful man he was the minute they met, deciding to marry him just three months after their first date. Over 38 years and 3 children, later it remains the best decision of her life. Along with Marianne, he is survived by his three daughters Lauren, Kristen and Samantha, of Wilton and Stamford CT. He taught them to leave the world a better place than they found it, to always find “the funny”, and to be sure to pay their bills on time

Peter received his BA from Fairfield University and his MBA from UCONN. He worked for several years and Pitney Bowes and GE Capital. Three sisters survive him, Marianne Elwell of Plano Texas, Kathleen Tubridy of River Edge New Jersey, and Christine Radeline of Bethany Beach Delaware.
