Not sure what to say?

To the Foster Family,
I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you in your loss. When I heard Foster Motors had been sold, I could not imagine why Jeff would sell his "baby". Now I know he was sick. Jeff was the finest car dealer EVER. I always felt safe when I went there to buy or to have work done. I knew I was going to be treated right. I purchased two cars from Foster Motors. There will never be a finer business man in Tallahassee than Jeff Foster. To Jeff's sons - you have some...

I hired Jeff at the Broan Derby Restaurant as a Bartender in 1975. He was outstanding in service and guest relations. He married Becky who worked for us , too. Jeff was a Sigma Chi Fraternity member and one of my Fraternity brothers. I know he is with Our Lord and at peace with what he has given all of us.

Jeff, you are a great person, friend and brother. You will be greatly missed. I worked with Jeff in the late 70's at the Brown Derby. We were both bartenders and had many excellent times together. What a place!!! Then after that, Jeff went into car sales with Baldwin. I sold Jeff cars and purchased cars from him for my kids (at Foster Motors). I said Brother because, as I, Jeff was a Sigma Chi, and is resting in Chapter Eternal right now. Cool. I'll see you there before you know it...

I met Jeff shortly after moving to Tallahassee, becoming a vendor and counting him as one of my best customers. Along the way I felt comfortable enough to purchase several autos and refer many friends to him. When he called and asked me to come work for him, I was honored that he thought enough of me to include me in his organization. We had several conversations sharing some of the deepest secrets we both had. I felt completely at ease in his presence, and will miss him. To his family all I...

Dear Foster Family
Im so sorry for your loss,Jeff was a great person. My ex-husband Tim Brown worked for Jeff for a few years. He made such an impact on Tim and showed him the ropes of being a salesman. I know that Tim's success has alot to do with Jeff's teachings. Our thoughts are with you all.

To the Foster family

I echo many of the comments already included by others who have signed the guest book before me.

I remember many visits to your home when I, as a representative for EF (Educational Foundation), initially placed Daniel Wallen from Stockholm, Sweden to live with your family. I will always remember the support that was given Daniel by your family, and particularly by Jeff. when Daniel's father passed away.

A very close friend of ours, Steve Hurlston,...

I can remember going to Foster's for a job interview. It was during lunch and they were having one of their monthly cookouts. Jeff waved me over, I introduced myself and before we started talking, he put his hand up and said, "Wait, grab yourself a plate, lets eat first."
I worked for Jeff for 5 years, and during that time, he gained my utmost respect. He was the most honest, fair man I have ever met or worked for and to this day I can say the same.
Jeff, himself, would hand out...

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.
