BOB FOSTER Obituary

Bob (Robert Dean) Foster, 61, a loving father, devoted grandfather, beloved brother, faithful friend, artist, author, gardener, and entrepreneur passed away on May 24, 2016, surrounded by his family. Born in Waukegan, Illinois, July 31, 1954, Bobby was one of Orland and Geneva Foster's six children. A resident of El Paso for over 45 years, he was owner of Camino Contracting and had recently retired. Bobby will be dearly missed by his children, Charlie, Michelle, and Kimberly; the mother of his children, Susan Foster, and the love of his life granddaughter Khloe Isabella Ponce. His brother Tom Foster, sisters Sandra Karnatz, Linda Brown, and Debbie Foster, Godchildren Patrick Reed, Kim Kitaen, Daniel Wright and Hope Wright, nieces and nephews, and many many dear friends and former employees will miss his humor and his passion. He will join his mother, father, sister, and Prince who preceded him in passing. Bobby was loving, generous, zealous, and lived life to its fullest each and every day. His art, his journals, and his book, Universal Constant, include his truths, his principles, and his proverbs. Per his wishes, his ashes will travel to parts unknown via the Sea of Cortez and the Caribbean Sea of Belize. Cremation Arrangements under the direction of Martin Funeral Home Central.

Loved Bob with all my heart. He was one of a kind.
Very generous and caring. We shared many laughs... He made me laugh harder than anyone I knew. I have GREAT memories of him and will cherish them all. He left too soon.
