Buddy had a big influence on me. He helped me to become the man I am today. I wish there were more men like him around tody.

I will always remember Buddy Foster as a very kind and special man. We would go to his house in Gaithesburg on weekends and the house was always full of family and friends. I am particularly grateful to him for the advice and assistance he gave to me with the sale of our house in Maryland, while my husband and children were in California. Buddy, you will always be missed.

Budy was a very special man. When I was young he would go outback and play catch with me, and this was wonderful; he would catch the ball with his bare hands. I admired him for all the things he did. He was a role model to me. He will be missed by all his family and friends.

Uncle Buddy was always an inspiration to us. We are blessed to have had him in our family. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. May he be reunited with his sister & brother and others who have preceded him as he enters Heavens gates. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Cindy & Kelly & family.
Love, Janet, Donnie & Leslie

Uncle Buddy - As a kid, I remember cutting the grass for you at Grandmother's apartments and handing out campaign literature at the polls when you ran for office. Thank you for the support you gave Mom when your brother Earle passed. You will be missed.

Chuck and I began practicing law at about the same time with Meatyard and Carlin. I admired him as a friend and as a lawyer.
