Jack Foley (basketball)
John E. Foley (April 19, 1939 – November 29, 2020) was an American professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was selected in the second round as the 18th pick in the 1962 NBA Draft by the Celtics and spent one season playing in the league.

Jack Foley (poet)
John Wayne Harold "Jack" Foley (born August 9, 1940) is an American poet and radio personality, living in Oakland, California. Biography John Wayne Harold Foley was born in Neptune, New Jersey, raised in Port Chester, New York, and educated at Cornell University and the University of California-Berkeley. His career as a poet is unique because it has always involved performance, specifically the presentation of “multivoiced” pieces written by Foley but performed by both Foley and his late wife, Adelle Joan Foley (1940-2016). These pieces often feature conflicting, simultaneous voices whose interrelationships reflect Foley’s often-stated belief that “some parts of the mind don’t know what other parts are doing.” Foley met Adelle in November, 1960 while he was attending Cornell and she was attending Goucher College in Maryland. They married on December 21, 1961; the couple had one child, Sean (born 1974). The Foleys moved to California in 1963 so that he could attend U ...
