If there is anything I could do let me know. He will be missed dearly by everyone that know him and loved him. But know that its not forever we will see him again some day. He will in our hearts and be with us always. Never say good bye say see u later. From Kandy Johnson a.k.a Kaffenbarger

To the Foss Family:
Even though it has been several years since I have last seen Nick. I will never forget living right next door to him. We would sit outside on our balcony and talk and joke for hours. He was always trying to get me to listen to some new song he had found, or Incubus. He was a great guy and I am deeply saddened for your tragic loss. I know though that God will give you peace and comfort during this time and for years to come.

The Foss Family...
I was a coworker of Nick's at NCC at Riverside. I had the honor of knowing him for too short a time, but we shared a love of trivia. He was an inspiration to me and my coworkers and I will miss him. I share the following thoughts and prayer of comfort with your family.
I'm going to attempt to offer some comfort in your time of loss. I realize that this is typically an impossible task, but please read on for that sake. We've all suffered loss in our lives and are bound to experience the pain that ensues. For some it is a pet, some a parent,some a child, some money, and some a dear and loved friend. As a result, we struggle to find a way to cope and to find a place to put it in our lives. Obviously your loved one leaves you and others with many fond memories....humorous times, shared experiences, and common loves in life. We live in the 21st century and Kubler - Ross tells us we have to process the steps of grieving. Very intellectual instructions for life and worth acknowledging. But I also find myself wondering, if these maxims are so enlightening, how did our ancestors and thousands of generations cope before we had these insights?
I find comfort in the past, in the ancients for my hints at wisdom and comfort. In the past when someone died, the Greeks asked not if the man had been successful, or had he been loving or evil, or had he been a great leader, militant, passivist, or even scholarly philosopher. The Greeks asked one simple question...."Did he have Passion?" It would seem to me that if you ask yourself this, you will find yourself answering resoundly that YES your son had Passion. Passion in work, in play, and in friendships....even those that had challenges. Then ask yourself one more thing....What is the best manner for the memory of him that I can honor that Passion for life. I'm certain you already know that answer. Everyone's thoughts are with you at this time.

I could feel his kindness and compassion for others through his writing in our online class together. I never met him face to face but I swear that his heart shone through his words. I am very sorry for your loss.

We remember two little boys running around the basketball court in the N.E.H.S. gym. Such joy.
Your gift of life to other families was an act of great love. May God hold you in his hands in your sorrow. May He dance with your son in his new life.

Mr. & Mrs. Foss & Chris,
I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Foss since the early 80's as my 8th grade teacher at Rolling Hills, and have seen you as a family on a few occasions at the Kuliseks. I didn't know Nick other than to see him there but what I do remember is that he was always laughing and people were always gathering around to hear what he had to say. He always seemed to be smiling and so did those around him. I am so sorry that his life was cut so short when he was so full of vitality. What a wonderful gift you as a family have given to several other families by sharing your blessed boy. Organ donation is a difficult decision we all wish you had never had to make. I am an RN in ICU and I have watched families agonize over that decision either for or against it. But please know that you have made the ultimate sacrifice and gift to another, you have given the gift of life. Hopefully that will be some solace to you and yours during such a horribly sad time. Your sweet boy will live in the heart of others, either by those that received his organs in death or those that were blessed to have known him in life. I think of you often and will keep you in my prayers.

Nick was a co-worker and friend of my roommate so I had the privilege of meeting him on a few occassions. Although I did not know him well, he always seemed to have a good time and his friends spoke very highly of him. The messages left here are a true testament to how many lives your son touched. I hope this brings peace to your family.

I am truly saddened to hear about Nick. I had the pleasure of working with Nick at Riverside in the NCC. I can still see his bright smile...it lit up any room that he entered and it was absolutely contagious! You always knew your night was going to be better when Nick was working. He always had a way to make you smile, even on the worst of nights. He was truly an amazing person and would have been a FANTASTIC nurse. I know he will be deeply missed by many. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I worked with Nick in CCU at Grant. He was an amazing person! I can still see him bounding through the door with that larger-than-life smile on his face. We knew we would have a good night if Nick was there. His compassion, wisdom, and sense of humor are so rare. He was a true friend to all and I will miss him greatly!

To Nick's Family: I worked with Nick at NCC Riverside for a little over a year. I was not at work this week and was shocked on Sat. morning to hear about Nick. I consider myself a very lucky person to have known such a compassionate and wonderful person. When I think of Nick all I can see is his wonderful smile that could light up any room. I am truly sorry for your loss. I just happened to see what information I could find on the internet and was so happy to come to this site. I needed to pay my respects to such a wonderful man. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. He will be missed by all of us.

To the Foss family,
Your strength is unmeasurable. I knew there would be many people today but the number was unbelievable. Your family and Nick are loved. As a parent my heart breaks for you. I hope you are able to pull from the energy and love that was shown to you today in light of such a tragic loss. I did not get back to the room to submit my memory but I will share one here. I use to frequently lock my house keys in the house. One day Nick was meeting Patsy at our home and He and I arrive at the same time. I had to tell him that we would have to wait to enter until Patsy arrived. He asked if the window was unlocked. he said since he had seen me go thruogh the window he was sure he could. We laughed. He went through the front window and could touch the floor with his feet still hanging out the window. We laughed so hard I thought I would burst. I have thought of his feet out that window so many times and just lauhged. He was always willing to lend a hand. My stepson was with me today. His fond memory was when Nick was present for his first two wheel bike ride. Nick and Patsy cheered him like he was going to win a big trophy. Chris I know your family is proud of you. Goodluck in all you do.
Thanks for sharing Nick with us and hundreds of others

Mr. and Mrs. Foss, and Chris,
My sister just told me of your loss.
I still remember Nick as a cute young boy hanging around Northeastern High School. It sounds like he grew into a fine young man. My thoughts and prayers will be with you as you learn to live life without him. It is wonderful that you gave others the gift of life with his donation.

Words cannot express the sorrow that I feel over this tragic incident. Nick was a friend to everyone he met. I had the pleasure of working (& laughing & joking) with him at Grant CCU.

To The Foss Family:
My deepest sympathy to you all. Even though I don't know you, my grandson will soon become a member of the Kenton Ridge "Family" and that will be my connection to the "Foss" family. I know now you are searching hard and asking many questions as to why this had to happen. But in time God will reveal the reason he took Nick home with him and he will tell you his plan for Nick. From the sounds of it Nick was a wonderful person and God knew exactly who he was picking. You are in my prayers.

Mr. & Mrs. Foss,
I met Nick a little over 18 months ago when I came to work at Riverside in NCC. Nick was always of great help to all of his co-workers. He also had such a good spirit about him. There was a goodness about him that you could see in his eyes. He had a smile and kind word for everyone. I know that I speak for many when I say he will be missed, but never forgotten. May God bless you and keep you. Sincerely, Kim Spivey

I had the great pleasure of knowing Nick as a coworker at Riverside in the NCC. Although he worked night shift and I worked days we often crossed paths. I always looked forward to seeing Nick's smiling face first thing in the morning because he was a great person to follow. He always went above and beyond in everything he did and I knew I could count on him to have done his work and then some. He was a very caring and compassionate person who I feel blessed to have known. I am so sorry for the loss that so many have suffered in Nick's passing. May all the wonderful memories of Nick help to comfort those during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Mr. and Mrs. Foss, Chris- I knew Nick to be very caring, kind and empathetically aware of those around him. I remember being able to see a joke or prank in his eyes 2 seconds before it was laid out onto the table- he was quick! He gifted us with a warm and wonderful spirit that we will all carry and Lift Up. I have your family, all of us who knew him and the donor recipient's families in my prayers. God Bless-

No words come to mind that would properly express our great sorrow and sympathy. My mind fumbles between trying to make sense of this tragedy and remembering good times with Nick and his sense of humor. Reading through these dedications has reinforced my wonderful memories of Nick. He would do anything he could for family and friends. I remember him helping us move from Springfield. He was so willing and eager to help. Then he was so willing to be with Patsy through my transplant surgery. I, too, want to Thank You for the organ donations. Being a recipient, I know there will be many more people whose lives will be blessed because of Nick. If, by chance, I happen to see someone with an infectiously warm embracing smile, I won't be able to resist wondering if they received an organ from Nick. I sincerely believe Nick is one that enters our lives and eternally leaves a mark on our hearts.

I extend my condolences to you at this incredibly difficult time. Although I didn’t know Nick extremely well, I always spoke when I saw either him or Chris out and about. And to be honest, they were usually always together! They are both great guys…something to be proud of. Best wishes as you cope, grieve and try to understand life without his great smile and wonderful presence.

Dear Foss Family,
All though I did not know Nick personally, my wife Adrian worked with him at Grant CCU and always talked about the pranks Nick would play on her and his ability to make her job a little more enjoyable with his humor, his kindheartedness, and his genuine nature. My prays are with you during this trying time and may God bless you keep you.
Patsy

In one instant, our lives were changed! Nick was a shining light for many of us. His quick wit, his love of music and movies, his great energy....lives on. I know where he is now and I know that as sudden as this has been for all of us, is was just as sudden for Nick. So, I know that as the days and years go on he will be around to keep us company and make sure we have the warmth and care we need. Thank you to Nick and to the Foss family for all of our time together and the wonderful, happy memories that can never be stolen away! Just as Nick loved to be around those who he cared for and cared for him, we will all be together in his honor and be surrounded by the love he has intended. To all, please remember the Serenity Prayer and find comfort in your souls.

Hope Rang, RN, Riverside Methodist Hospital
April 11, 2008
I was one of the fortunate ones who worked with Nick at Riverside Methodist. There are not enough descriptive words in any language to explain how special he was. I loved him like a little brother, and would teasingly tell him I wish he'd marry my sister (who he didn't even know). I feel very blessed to have known him and will be forever saddened he was taken away from his family, friends, and all the patients who would have benefitted from his kind and compassionate heart.
Mr. and Mrs. Foss, you created and raised a wonderfully beautiful son. My deepest sympathy and thoughts are with you.

My husband and I wish to extend our deepest sympathy to all of Nick's family and friends. Our daughter, Pam, spent many wonderful times with Nick, his brother, Chris, and Lindsay.

A truly devastating loss. Nick was an awesome person and patient care technician. Every time I would greet Nick he had a beautiful smile on his face. I remember him as a super nice young man always willing to help anyone wherever he was. A very sad day and a tragic loss to lose such a gifted young man. My thoughts and prayers for his family. May God Bless You and May You Draw from his strength during this very difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Foss family during this time of loss. Though I didn't know Nick personally, I did have the pleasure of having his father, Chuck, as a principal at KRHS. My heart goes out to all of you.

You have to believe that God knows what he is doing. He has a more important job for your son in Heaven. I lost a daughter at the age of 33 (2 years ago). I know this is the worst time you will ever go through. Please know that God will help you. Your son will live in your heart forever.

My thoughts and prayers are with Nick's family and friends. I know how much his family meant to him. I was fortunate enough to work and get to know Nick when we worked together at Riverside. He made every day we worked together enjoyable. He always made me laugh and he could always light up a room with his smile. Nick would have been a excellent nurse and he would have treated his patients they way he treated his family and friends, with great compassion and respect. It was my pleasure to have known Nick and I am so glad to have wonderful memories of him. We will always miss you Nick!

I was shocked and saddened to hear about the loss of Nick. I worked with Nick at Riverside, and in a short time, he got into the hearts of our whole department (PVL). He will be greatly missed. My prayers are with the Foss family as they grieve the loss of their wonderful son.

I am so sadened to hear this horrific news, I graduated with Nick and I was in some of his classes. He sure did'nt deserve this at all. I know he is in a better place, but he got there too soon. Just a few days ago I was thinking of Nick. He and I had a lot of fun in art class. I will always rember his smile.

I can't imagine the sorrow and heavy hearts your family must have now. I had the privildge of knowing your son through work in CCU. What an awesome guy! It was a pleasure to work with him and have him care for my patients as if each and every patient deserved 110% of his care. I will miss his smile, his laugh, his stories and his jokes. May God Bless the receipients of his gift of life. May he also bring a calming peace to your family to help in the coming years.
