I am posting this picture of my family - mom- Joyce Foster, , dad - David Foster and sister Wendy Coffman because this was one of the last times we were all together. My dad passed away last month in Florida in a nursing home . He was fighting a long battle with lung problems and other health issues that close family and friends were aware of. I thought this would be the best way to get the word out as many of our friends knew him from being a pipefitter in Pennsylvania, fishing in New Jersey. selling Yachts in Maryland, marketing in Amway, to retirement. We will miss his quirky sense of humor and remember the good times! There will be a grave side service in Stillpond Md on Sept 4th at 4pm. He will be buried with his mom and dad, Clarence and Elizabeth Foster and his brother Wayne Foster.
