Not sure what to say?

My condolences and love to Kim and Family. I will miss the Fatherly advice and sense of humor Mr. Foreman. God Bless

As I was going thru some of my old pictures I saw that I was in Don's company on several occasions. At my
home, My Mom's 80th BD, social gatherings
and phone company events.He would see me and say I passed your house and I'm going to stop by. (our famous words.)
But, when my husband passed in 1985 he visited several times and gave me helpful infomation. He was a good friend.

Sincerely,
Betty Ivory

Don & I worked together in the Corporate Communications group for a number of years. What a great man! I think he knew everyone in Portland. He went about his work in a low key, get it done manner. I never had concern about what Don was doing, he just got it done. May God be with your family in this difficult time and we may be assured that you are in a much better place my friend.

Our prayers are with Bev & the families.We have been friends for many years.Bev was my sister-in-law before her life with Don and I still consider her a member of our family. The Foreman's were a loving couple & they enjoyed the game of golf. We all worked for the telephone company & my husband was Bev's Minister also. Life without Don will be hard but with the grace of God we will make it through this. We were sorry that we could not be there for the funeral. Please know that we loved him &...

I'm was almost positive when I saw the picture of Don that he was my old friend and classmate at Multnomah Jr. College. Don kept us from falling asleep in Dean Worthington's class on World History. He was so filled with humor and love of life that, after reading your guest book entries,there can't possibly be two Don Foremans. If I am mistaken, I would still ask that you accept my deepest regret and sympathy and my thoughts that you can never really lose someone who you keep in your...

Surprised to see Don's obit, but all of us from Old Lincoln High School are getting there. What a great guy with a warmth which many of us felt. Thanks for being, Don. Bud Clark, Class of '49.

Bev, I still play golf at Gearhart and remember fondly you and Don at our tournaments in the first condo on the second tee.

I knew Don during my career with PNB and we were also neighbors for a few years in the early 70's. My sincere condolences.

A DAD Portland Seminar would not be the same without Don's happy face and cheerful voice! What a plesure for each of us to have had good times with you both! Bev, we all will miss your grand gentleman!
