Michael S. Foley, 65, died suddenly Saturday, December 23, 2023, at the Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton. Born in Boston, he was raised in Dorchester in St. Margaret’s Parish. After graduating from high school, he entered the US Army and proudly served for three years, and in the Reserves for six more. After his honorable discharge, he returned home and joined Roofers Union Local 33, following in his father’s footsteps. He was a longtime dedicated member of the Roofers Union and was influential in the recruiting and development of younger members and served as a mentor to many.
