Foster IV and his wife Kami of Queenstown, his daughter Sarah Casilio and her husband John of Leonardtown, his two granddaughters Madelyn and Evelyn and his sister Helen Foster of St. Paul.

Dear Sam...I remember the great talks we had in or before our classes. You never failed to cheer me up on those days when I was a little down. I always considered you a friend. Rest in Peace.

Good bye Sammy, many fond memories of our youth seemingly so recent yet so long passed.

Seems only yesterday that we were all children. I still have many fond memories of a smiling jocular and seemingly carefree Sam as a teen.

I met Sam at the hospital a couple of years ago. I must say that I feel truly blessed and honored to have known him. We shared many talks about his health and his life- especially his loving family. I really enjoyed when he would explain what the problem with our healthcare system is. He kept me laughing and smiling. I will miss him!!!!!!!
