It is not often that the loss of one man diminishes this world. It will take the goodness of many men to fill the void left by the passing of your father.
I offer my sincere condolences to you both

Reg, you are my hero. Whenever I needed advice you were always there to help me out. You always made me laugh, and encouraged me when I was down. You were an angel here on earth and a Godsend to all of us. You are at peace now with God, and living the eternal life promised to us. You will be missed very much.

From your loving daughter... Dad you were the first guy to ever love me. First to sweep me off my feet or plant those scratchy whisker kisses gently on my check. You answered hundreds of "what's this?" First man to take me seriously. I loved our heart-to-heart talks. First man I ever gave my heart to. Your love followed me mile after mile. In difficult times, you would hug me and tell me "This, too, will pass." You were my anchor of strength. Your dream for me has come true, because of you Dad I have become a happy, wise, loving, compassionate, independent woman. You have been my lifelong super hero. My heart is broken but I can hear you telling me "The father of compassion comforts us in all our troubles." I love you dad.

Reg was one of the finest Christians I have ever known. He was a gentle man, who really loved the Lord, Grace Baptist, and the Masons. He truly lived his faith, was always a helping hand at church, and was a great example of what it best means to be a Mason.
Reg was also a very hard worker as a trucker, supporting his family. He was well-respected as one of the pillars of Grace Baptist, willing to help anyone, usually privately.
He was fortunate to be married twice to two wonderful women whom he loved dearly. He loved his children unconditionally, always wishing for the best.
Reg will be dearly missed. My only consolation is that I am sure we will meet again in heaven. Until then, I wish you all God's blessings of comfort, daily strength, inner peace, and a strong faith that can see beyond the grave all the way to the heavenly shores he is enjoying, in perfect health.

I will always remember the family picnics at Ashby ,and the chance meetings at Kimballs, and how when passing us on rainy days he would ask us if we wanted a ride and just wave on sunny days. He will be greatly missed.

My father was a man who was totally dedicated to making life better for others.His dedicated love for family and true faith in God are a unique combination that developed him into the trully amazing man that he was.He taught me that honesty and decency are key in becoming a responsible man.He taught me that pride and respect were earned not given.He showed me on a daily basis what love was,for all my faults my father never stopped loving me.It took me a while to learn some of my father's lessons, but they were all worth the while.Because as I became a better man,my dad became a prouder father.I always wanted to make my Dad as proud of me as I was of him.In the end I believe that pride went both ways.I have never known a more caring and selfless man.It is all these attributes that allowed my Dad to be the content,serene,loving man that he was.Carefree and without a worry was how he went through a normal day,willing to help anyone that needed it.Everyone thinks that their Dad is special,I feel blessed to have had such a man teach me how to walk through life.Family,faith and love were what he was all about.I'll miss my Dad,the greatest man I ever knew.

Bud Foster was a genuine, hard working, loving father, husband and a pillar of support of the Grace Baptist Church. When a job needed doing, Reg was the man to call. His belief and love for the people of Grace Baptist inspired members of the church. . . and inspired me to be a better pastor.
We will not see his kind of sturdy, hardworking, generous faith in God's word and work for a long time.
Blessings to all who knew and loved him. And I'm sure that he is at work, repairing angel wings, fixing the gates of the Kingdom and looking to be sure that the boiler is working.
He was the soul of the Grace Baptist Church.

Bud was a great man. Very loving, caring and always there for everyone.
He did so much for GBC over the years.
He was a gentle giant.
