He was preceded in death by his parents, JC and Gladys Foster; his two brothers, Billy Don, Benny Lee and his wife Loretta Foster, his son Bobby Earl Jr., and his loving wife (and first girlfriend) Janet Foster. Bobby lived for his family and loved them well. His grandchildren and great grandchildren describe him as someone that served others well, but served God first. He was a strong man that lived a full life, had an unmatched work ethic, took pride in all that he did, and was genuinely a good person. His family misses him tremendously, but finds great comfort knowing that he’s rejoicing in heaven reunited with the love of his life.
