Ed and Kathy started dating their sophomore year of high school and were married for 54 years. They had 3 children: Becky, Stacy, and Cindy. Nine of their grandchildren graduated from Pius X: Laura (Kramer) De Leon Fabian ’11, Nathan Kramer ’14, Caitlyn Gonifas ’14, Kyle Kramer ’17, Chandler Boyte ’17, Dylan Boyte ’18, Isaac Kramer ’19, Brianna Gonifas ’19, and Stephen Gonifas ’26. During that time, Ed and Kathy loved going to Grandparents Day to attend Mass and visit with their grandchildren at Pius X. They also attended the many activities the grandchildren were involved in including sports, vocal music, band, ACA DECA, and theater.  

After graduating from college, Ed worked as a pharmaceutical sales representative until 1980, when he began his career in financial services. In 1987, he established his own firm which is known today as Foy Financial Services, Inc. He found great joy and purpose in his work and continued serving his clients until his passing in 2025. Outside of work, Ed earned his pilot’s license and was a talented singer and musician. Kathy worked part time as a registered nurse these years until 1991 when she joined Ed as an administrative assistant in his office, as working together had been a long time goal of theirs.

Kathleen Foy established this scholarship fund in memory of Edward Foy to assist students with financial need. Ed and Kathy were deeply impressed by their grandchildren’s experiences at Pius X Catholic High School and how well the school prepared them for their futures. They believed that any student who desires a Pius X education should have the opportunity and resources to receive one.
