Roxbury Township, Mr. Edward J Foeri, 78, died on November 15, 2022 at St. Clare’s Hospital in Denville. He was born and raised in Bayonne, NJ and moved to Succasunna 47 years ago. He served in the U S Army in Korea, during the Vietnam Era, and was a Disabled American Veteran. After serving our country, he worked as the Director of Manufacturing for Electro Protective Corporation for 25 years.  He always had a love for athletics that led to him pursuing full time coaching.  Swimmers from all over our state benefited from his expert coaching techniques but more importantly from his passion for helping kids reach their highest potential.

Ed loved hunting and fishing with family and friends especially his brother Al.  He was a life-long member of the Saxton Falls Rod and Gun Club.   He was an avid gardener and he sure did love his dogs.
