  |   | Farewell John Foley | 
 
|   | Glynn Fletcher contacted us with the sad news of John's passing.
 
  
 
 Just heard John Foley has died. John was on transmission construction in Manchester South. 
 
 He was an ex-fireman hence his nick-name Fireman Foley. He was very much into amateur dramatics at New Mills Art Theatre.
 
 No funeral details yet.

Const. in Mcr North and never came across John again but remember him well.RIP John |
