for having him in my class
for two years,” one of the
teachers wrote.
Another wrote: “Sebastian’s
journey to New Trier
changed us forever.”
Three of Duncan’s
friends joined Savage-
Williams in paying tribute
to him.
“I’m lucky to have been
best friends with Sebastian
for four years,” said
Anna Zwierzycki, her
voice choked with emotion.
“Being around him
you seemed to forget any
issues you had around you
in your life.
“I love you forever, Sebastian.
Thank you for
blessing my life.”
Fighting back tears,
Rowan Clark, whose
friendship with Duncan
dated back to their childhood,
said: “I’m forever
grateful for the time I spent
with him. I’m never ever,
ever, ever going to forget
him. He was an amazing
person.”
Andrew Peterson, a
friend and work colleague,
remembered Duncan as
being “brave, unselfish
and kind-hearted” and at
the same time very competitive.
“He always had my
back,” Peterson said. “If I
ever got in a tight place he
would come by my side.
When I needed him the
most he would help me
through it.
“We had a lot to learn
from him; the kind of man
he was, the kind of Christian
he was.”
St. Joseph’s pastor, Reverend
Monsignor Daniel
Mayall, delivered the
opening remarks and a
reading from the gospel of
St. John.
The pastor of Apostolic
Faith Church in Vermillion,
S.D., Rev. Gregory
Robinson, offered the
prayer to begin the ceremony
and imparted an
eloquent and heartfelt
message of comfort to
Duncan’s family prior to
the closing prayer.
Rev. Robinson recalled
his close boyhood friendship
with Duncan’s father,
Tony, when they were
growing up in Evanston.
Earlier in the ceremony
Savage-Williams had said
“His dad was such a powerful
influence on him and
shaped his character.”
Rev. Robinson was of
the same mind. “As I remember
Sebastian, I remember
a strong young
man,” he reflected. “Sebastian
took me back to Howard
Street in Evanston and
the time I had spent with
Tony. Sebastian turned out
to be such a great athlete
and such a great man.
“You’ll know who a
man is when he passes
away. When he’s a good
man you’ll hear a thousand
words. All of these people
here have come from all
over—people of different
races, different genders,
different classes. There are
no barriers. This is incredible.
This community is
wonderful, second to none.
Robert “Bob”
James Foley
Robert
“Bob” James Foley, 89,
died Sept. 18, after a 10-
year valiant battle with
Alzheimer’s Disease. He
was surrounded by his loving
family. Foley was the
love of his wife’s life for
65 years Mary Foley nee
Courtney, he was devoted
to her. He was the loving
father of Pat Foley, Brian
Foley, and Kathy (Dennis)
O’Keefe. Wonderful “Popper”

the Cristo Rey Network of
Schools. He was preceded
in death by his parents
Helen (Purcell) and Robert
Martin Foley.
Foley was born on May
9, 1929 in Chicago, and
raised in Winnetka and
Wilmette. He loved telling
that he was in the second
graduating class of Saints
Faith, Hope, and Charity
School in Winnetka
as well as a 1947 graduate
of Loyola Academy in
Chicago. After attending
Georgetown University for
two years, he entered naval
aviator training in Pensacola,
Fla. in 1950. There he
earned his “wings” and received
the commission of
Ensign in the Navy.
He married his sweetheart,
Mary Courtney, on
Feb. 7, 1953 in Washington
D.C. The newlyweds
drove from Washington
D.C. to Coronado, Calif.
where Foley was to report
for duty to patrol squadron
VP48. After several
months in Coronado, his
squadron received orders
to patrol the waters around
Korea via the Philippines
and Japan. While in Korea
Pat was born. Foley served
two nine-month tours
overseas. After the first
tour, Foley was awarded
the position of patrol plane
Captain, which made him
the most junior Captain in
the Pacific. Foley was honorably
discharged from the
Navy in Aug. 1955.
The young family came
back to the Chicago area
where he began working
at his father’s Buick
dealership (Foley Motor
Sales in Wilmette) in business
since 1933. In July of
1956, Foley and his wife
bought their first home
in Glenview. That same
month their family grew
when Brian was born, followed
by Kathy in 1959.
In 1956, they became
active parishioners of Our
Lady of Perpetual Help
which truly became a second
home to them. For
countless years, Foley was
a lector and song leader
at parish masses. In 1970,
he became the President
of Foley Motor Sales.
Both Foley and his father
served nine years on the
Chicago Auto Trade Association
(CATA) Board
of Directors, his father
from 1966-1974 and he
from 1979-1987. Both
served as CATA President
(1973 and 1986) and Auto
Show Chairman (1974 and
1987). Foley and his father
were the first father and
son to lead the CATA.
