Andrew J. Foray Jr. age 86 of Nassawadox, Virginia and formerly of Clifton, died October 23, 2008 at the Heritage Hall Nursing Home in Nassawadox.
Andy was born in Passaic and lived most of his life in the Athenia section of Clifton before moving to Virginia just five years ago.
He had worked thirty two years at the Manhattan Rubber Company making brake shoes and bowling balls and later became a truck driver, Teamsters Local 701, for Burlington Trucking where he worked for twenty years before retiring in 1986.
He proudly served more than three years in the US Army during World War II; Company B, 220th Armored Engineer Battalion, in Rhineland and Central Europe. He was a Combat Engineer, Demolition Specialist, and Heavy Truck Driver hauling all types of equipment and personnel within the European Theatre of Operations. In appreciation of his service he earned the American Service Medal, the EAME Service Medal, Good Conduct Medal, and the Victory Medal. After the service, Andy became a proud and active member of the Athenia Vets in Clifton and VFW Post #2867 in Garfield, NJ where he continued to honor and support his brothers in arms.
Andy’s children recall memories of their summer vacations on LBI; usually two weeks every summer and many weekend trips there too. Andy’s favorite holiday was New Years Eve. He always enjoyed a big celebration but no matter what, he wanted to be with his family at the stroke of midnight. He hosted a big summer family reunion BBQ almost every year and if you attended you might have been lucky enough to see him dance – he loved to dance.
Andy married Margaret Grant in 1954 and they enjoyed twenty seven loving years before her early passing in 1981. He is survived by his three children; Andrew and his wife Debra of Wayne, Patrick and his wife Luz of Wayne, and Irene Henderson and her husband Thom of Franktown, Virginia, and five grandsons; Andrew, Tom, Michael and Grant Foray all of Wayne, and David Henderson of Franktown, Virginia.
