Joseph P. "J.P." Foster

Joseph Phillip “J.P.” Foster, age 60, of Orlando, Florida, passed away suddenly on October 21, 2014. He was born on January 13, 1954 in Lincoln, Illinois. He was the first born to Mary and Joseph Foster. J.P. was the best father and friend that anyone could ask for. He accomplished much in life, but his proudest achievement was raising his three sons. J.P. was also a man of great intelligence who enjoyed the endless pursuit of knowledge. In a world that always tries to bring people down, he believed in lifting others up, whether it was with his famous cookies, or doing silly things to make you laugh— a.k.a, his crazy dancing, and even crazier jokes. J.P. had a way of bringing out the best in people, and touched the lives of many. He always made the joke that he had "Foster" kids, and it's true. He made his son’s friends, and significant others, feel like they had a second father. J.P. will always be loved, but he will never be missed, because he'll still be here every day in the hearts of the people who love him. He is preceded in death by his parents, Mary and Joseph Foster. J.P. is survived by Lisa Foster, the mother of their three sons— Joey Foster, Tommy Foster, Bobby Foster, and his brother, Steve Foster. Family will receive friends Tuesday, October 28, 2014 from 5-8 pm at Woodlawn Funeral Home. A Funeral Service will be held at 2 pm, Wednesday, October 29, 2014 at Woodlawn Funeral home.
