Richard Lee Foos

Dick was my cousin -- I looked up to him when I was a little girl but also as an adult because he was a joyful man with a great love for his family and friends. We never got around to having that family reunion we always chatted about, but I know he is having one now in heaven! My love to you Janice and family!

It was such a joy knowing Dick. He will be missed by many but not as deeply as by his family. Jan, Tracy and all, keep him in you hearts. He loved you all so much.

Our deepest condolences to Jan and her family. We are saddened by Dick's passing. He was a great and kind individual. We are blessed to have been able to get to know him. He will be missed. Prayers and love go out to your family.

Jan and family - so sorry to hear about Dick's passing. Mike and I have loved seeing you both at the Temple Buell these past years. He will be missed dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

When I hear of the name, Richard Lee Foos, I think of the word "FAMILY" and that's because Dick was all about "FAMILY", whether it be, his very-own or his extended one, which my wife, Dorothy and I, have been very-fortunate, to be a part of. My wife, Dorothy, has known Dick for the last 16-years, and they met and worked at the theater, together but it didn't stop there, because my wife told me, before we met, that Dick would approach her and give her, his fatherly-loving-guidance, and it didn't stop there, either; because he'd invite her over for the holidays and those "FAMOUS POKER GAMES", too. I've known Dick, for 3 1/2-years and my first-experience of meeting him, was when Dorothy had made plans, to meet the "THEATER-FAMILY", downtown. So Dorothy, my son, Joel, who was 8-years-old, at the time and myself; walked in to meet everyone and there was Dick, The-Patriarch-of-the-Theater-Family, sitting there, at the table; and I had the most-wonderful-conversation, with him and I could tell how much he cared for Dorothy and it was if I was meeting Dorothy's dad, for the very-first-time. I loved it and I loved when he took a special-interest, in my son, Joel, too and whenever he was around Joel, he'd always cater to him and especially, if it was before one the "FAMOUS-POKER-GAMES". I'd like to add, that I also had the privilege, of working, along-side of Dick, at the theater, for the last 2-years and there wasn't a bigger-team-player there, than Dick, but Dick was so-much-more, than just a team-player; you see, I've had 5-plus-years of back-problems and I had surgery, this past January; and before my surgery and since my start at the the theater, Dick would always pull me aside and sit me down and ask me how my back was doing and that meant so much to me, and it didn't stop there, because I was a week out of surgery and who calls me, no one else, but Dick and it didn't stop there, either, and that's because he'd call, every-other-week, to checkup on my back, too; and then when he fell, I'd call, to checkup, on him, too. Then I returned to the theater and Dick returned shortly-afterwards, and once he returned, I made sure that I was first to see him and when I did, I sat down next to him, put my arm around him and I asked him how he was feeling and he told me that he was feeling alright and as not-well, as this amazing-man was, he again was asking about my back. Dick always put others, before himself and if-there's-one-thing-that-I've-learned-in-my-life and that's LOVE IS ALL ABOUT SACRIFICE; and Dick was all about LOVE AND SACRIFICE, too. Dick has been so good to Dorothy, Joel and myself, so over-the-years, I've coined the phrase "DENVER-DAD" and now I don't need to tell you why he's our "DENVER-DAD". SO R.I.P. OUR "DENVER-DAD". We will all dearly-miss, Dick, but we were all so-fortunate, to have crossed our life's-path, with him and we will all remember him, in all of our hearts, and that's because he touched, all of our hearts, in many-many-ways and were all, so-very-blessed, to have him in our lives. Finally, my condolences go out to the Foos-Family. First, my condolences go out to all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren; as your grandfather was always so-wonderful, when he was around my son, Joel and you were all, so-very-blessed to have him in your lives', for as long as he was in your life. Next, my condolences go out, to the children, Tracy, Jodie and R.J., your dad was such a tremendous-role-model and you were all so-very-blessed, to have him, as your father. Last, my condolences go out to Jan, and Jan, you were the most-blessed-of-all-of-us, and that's because you had a, undreamt of, these days, 60-plus-year-relationship, with this amazing-man; and if Dick was our "DENVER-DAD", that makes you our "DENVER-MOM", so being that said, "DENVER MOM", Dorothy and I are always here for you and that goes for you too, DENVER-SISTER-TRACY. Thanks for letting me share and again, R.I.P. "DENVER-DAD"...SINCERELY...DAVE SULLIVAN

Dick was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. I will miss our serious conversations about his Reggie and my two pups. My heart goes out to you Jan and Tracey. I feel blessed to have known him the past 11 years.

My condolences to Jan and family. I was very surprised to hear of his passing because I had just seen him a week or so before. Dick was such a kind, generous, friendly, funny and helpful person. I will miss his wicked and subtle humor. He was one of the good ones. My thoughts are with you Jan, Tracy and family.

Dick was a wonderful friend who could make you feel loved and make you laugh at the same time. He was a great man and valued his friends - he was faithful to come to my parties, share a laugh at work or joke around. He will be greatly missed. Jan, Tracy and the rest of the family, I love you and I'm there in my heart even if I can't be there in person.

Dear Janice and family: With deep sympathy from your friends at this time of sadness. Affectionately, Alan and Jacque Shada

The memories of our game nights are special. Not only was he a part of our lives but became an important part of our daughters life. What a gift he gave us all with his friendship and love. Rest in peace, Dick. You will be missed. Keep watching out for that beautiful family of yours.

My deepest sympathies. I am just so very saddened and shocked to learn of Dick's passing. He was a first class gentleman with the greatest smile ever. I will miss seeing him at the theatre complex. I have many wonderful memories. Jan and Tracy, you are in my thoughts, prayers and my heart.
