William "Tony" Foster

The words to say are often hard to come by at times like these. I had the privilege to work with Foster. He and i was in the same ship fitting apprentice class at Ingalls. Foster was a really cool guy to know and to work with. He took pride in his work and was good at it. He always was in a joking or laughing mood. He also had a great deal of love for his wife and daughter. You could see his eyes light up everytime he talked about them. Also how excited he was when he told us in class he was...

Tony and I started the same day at the shipyard together. We were in the same apprenticeship class. He was a worker. I even once talked to his general foreman who said that he would rate Tony in the top 5 apprentices that had ever worked for him. I admired that in Tony. I wish I could see him graduate with us.

Tony was one of the best apprentices I ever worked. He was the kind of worker you enjoyed having. Always respectfull and hard working. My prayers go out to his family.

ALTHOUGH WE ONLY WORKED TOGETHER A SHORT TIME, I GREW TO RESPECT YOUR LOVE AND COMMITMENT TO YOUR WORK, AND YOUR FAMILY. ONLY GOD KNOWS THE HURT OF LOSING YOUR OWN CHILD, AS HE GAVE UP HIS ONLY SON FOR US , SO WE COULD BE SAVED.TONY, I'LL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THE HURT YOUR FAMILY IS GOING THROUGH, AND FOR THEM TO COME TO A CLOSER RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

May God continue to Bless and comfort Tony's sweet, loving wife, beautiful children, family and friends! We don't always understand the reason for some things in life, but in the end the outcome is always for the best.
"Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4

Though I didn't know tony for long he impress me as being honest and full of life, I know he will be sadly missed by family and friends, Christ be with you and your family in this time of need.

I am so sorry for the loss of your son, brother, uncle, father and best of friends to so many. It's hard to search for words to express my sorrows for the family. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. May god comfort and bless each and every family member and dearest of friends.
