Not sure what to say?

I just learned of Dr. Foss's passing. He was our family physician for many years and he is deeply missed. We will never forget him. RIP

My heart goes out to the family. He was a fantastic doctor! Such a caring person and was blessed he was my physician for almost 30 years! There is no one who compares to him!!

So sorry to hear James passed away. He was my Doctor for many years. I'm still searching for a Doctor as special as he was. I don't think one exists.

Dr. Foss was my doctor for 30 years and became my husbands doctor when we got married in 1990. He saw my children told me when I got pregnant with my daughter and told my daughter she was pregnant with our first grandchild before he retired. He will always be remembered as a loving, caring and compassionate man. A great doctor and a good man. I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to have known him and to have had him on my side. Rest in heaven Dr. Foss!

I'm so sad to hear of the passing of this great man. Dr. Foss was our family doctor until his retirement and we all loved him. My kids never had to wait until tomorrow when they were sick and I can still hear him saying "hi guys" when he entered the exam room. I'll never forget calling his office on a Saturday morning and HE answered the phone! The office was closed but he stayed and saw my child that morning! He was truly a one of a kind doctor. Rest in peace dear man, your...

Sincerest sympathy to the family and friends of Dr. Foss. He was my primary care doctor forever and saved my life by sending me to the ER. Always a willing to spend time with patients, listening and truly hearing what we said. Inspiring, that´s the word that comes to mind when I think of Dr. Foss. I remember the "Why I´m a runner" poster in one of the exam rooms. Staff that obviously loved him as much as his patients. Rarely saw turnover... that says a lot about the kind of "Boss" he...

James Foss was a kind person and a very good doctor. My condolences to his family.

Dr. Foss was more than just my family doctor, he was like family. We lived next door to Dr. Foss on Meadow Road in Lakewood when I was just a baby. He was the first person my mom brought me to after I was born. When he started his family practice in Parkland, my parents followed him. Throughout my life he shared moments to celebrated and mourned. He was there to cheer and/or give me a kick in the pants. He was there when I went to college to become a teacher, got married, and had...

So,upset to hear that this gentle man has passed on to his place in Heaven. Jim and I were good friends when we attended church during our school years. We attended Lake Retreat Bible Camp together as well. What fun we all had together with friends from other churches from all over the state. He was always so friendly and compassionate. This is a huge loss for us all. Rest In Eternal Peace my friend. Ruth
