Lawrence Walter Foley
1950-2017
It with with heavy hearts the family of Lawrence Walter Foley
announce his passing on Sunday, July 9, 2017 at the Saint John
Regional Hospital Palliative Care Unit. Born in Saint John on December
7, 1950, he was a son of the late Lambert H. and Yvonne Mary
(Bastarache) Foley.
Lawrence was a graduate of Brockton High School, MA. He
pursued an award-winning career in hair styling at Jordan Marsh in
Boston, where he was approached by Mr. Vidal Sassoon himself to work
in his London, England and Cairo, Egypt locations. In the 1980s
Lawrence moved closer to family in Saint John and worked at Royal Hair
Design, then opened his own shop “Hair It Is” on
Union Street, until brain cancer forced him into retirement. After
defeating brain cancer, Lawrence still loved to visit friends, sister
Trish and other family members in Massachusetts. He had a passion for
architecture and loved uptown living in his several tastefully
decorated apartments. He was a fashionable dresser with a love for
style and design. When he visited his sister and cousins in
Massachusetts, their houses would be styled in his eclectic taste
before he left. He loved family dinners at his mother
Yvonne’s house where he would plot to sneak an extra dessert
home. Lawrence had a playful nature and a great sense of humor.
Lawrence was a spiritual person, and wanted everyone to love one
another with no exclusions. He will be missed.
A special thanks to Greg Hebert at Centennial Special Care
Home, Dr. Linda Stephenson, staff of the Palliative Care and Neuro
Units of the Saint John Regional Hospital.
Lawrence is survived by his brothers: Osmond (Connie), Gerard
(Mary), Gary and Marc (Tricia); brother-in-law Andrew Orfanos,
sister-in-law Rose Marie Foley, as well as many nieces, nephews and
cousins.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his
siblings: Patricia Orfanos, Paul and David.

Lawrence’s wishes there will be no visitation or funeral
service. For those who wish, remembrances in memory of Lawrence may be
