Eddie, Paulette and Heather it was a great pleasure to meet your father. He has shared with me many of his adventures.  Thank you for giving me the opportunity to hear of his adventurous life.

I had the pleasure of residing on the same street as Mr. Foster for over a decade.  Conversations with him in passing were always special. He would take interest in learning about my life events and I looked forward to catching up with him.  He was a beautiful Soul and I am certain a special place for him resides with his Savior.  Rest in peace Mr. Foster.

Prays for the family of Mr. Foster, one of my Father's bestfriends and brother in life. He was a wonderful person. May God Bless and confort his family. Love Rosanna Bivens & Bivens family ( daughter of William & Barbara Bivens )

I miss you Papa! But I am so happy that you are with Jesus! I will see you again one day...you and Nanny :)

So sorry about Mr Foster, he was always very pleasant to me, rest in in peace .

My deepest condolences to the Foster family. As my neighbor, Mr. Foster was like another grandparent to me.  He watched me grow up.  I will miss him dearly!!

God Bless/RIP,to ALL who served in WWII. The USA would NOT be as it is today. Thank YOU for your service, Elbert.....  And Semper Fi.
