Frederick A. "Heinie" Foss

Heinie Foss was a well respected business man and his "general store" was the biggest draw in Golden...it is truly missed by locals as well as visitors to Golden. But he was far more than a merchant. He generously provided for many organizations by becoming a founder and continuing supporter of the Civic Foundation,which donates to other organizations that provide Golden with a variety of cultural needs. Heinie was a fine gentelman and a great contributor to the welfare and history of Golden.

I first met "Heinie" and Barbara in October 1953. As a former neighbor for a number of years I enjoyed seeing the various livestock over the years in the pasture behind my house while watching the various grandchildren riding a horse or learning to drive while circling the pasture. I will always have fond memories of "Heinie" and Barbara.
