He was a quiet, intellectual young man and sought hard to learn and expand his knowledge in the insurance field where he excelled throughout his lifetime, working first in Tennessee, then in Texas, Colorado, Kentucky, and Georgia where he retired at the age of 62. He and his wife, Frances, had 3 daughters together, Judy, Paula, and Becky. Foch's hobbies were his lifelong love of fishing, especially in the high mountain streams of Colorado, wood working, and coin collecting. His craftmanship of his many wood projects are now enjoyed by his children, grand children, and great grandchildren. He loved grilling steaks and creating his own specialty spaghetti sauce. He instilled in his daughters the importance of learning about the world. We daughters easily remember how when we were little he said "now you girls can't read the funny papers until you read the front page of the newspaper. You need to learn about what's going on in this world."
