Dear Myrna and All Foss Family,
My deepest sympathies. I was honored to be one of Jim's nannies. He usually kept a good sense of humor and always a twinkle in his eye! He tried to teach me about grain prices, livestock etc. and would come alive talking about the farm in the old days. He always spoke so highly of his family and how proud he was of each of you. I drive by the farm often and always think of him and Myrna and our time together on Lapp Road. He will be missed. Sincerely, Donna & Tom Schall and Dylan

Jim and the Foss family were wonderful neighbors. I sometimes helped sort cattle until the "boys" were big enough to do the job. He helped me get started in the dairy business by selecting and delivering my first cows. Thank you Jim and the Foss family for being good, helpful neighbors. Jim will be missed. Wilbur Bontrager
