William FOSTER

I will steal Clint's line "that I knew Billy for half a century". Bill was an icon to all the boys in Carp and beyond ! Will always remember playing on the outdoor rink in Carp for hours and hours. We all had a lot of fun back in the day. RIP Billy you will never be forgotten. My condolences to the Foster family.

I remember playing football and Rugby against Bill in High school, playing Junior Rugby together for Eastern Ontario and then for years playing against Bill and the Irish at Twin Elm. We had so many laughs over the years...I am going to miss you Big Guy...Rest well

I recall playing against the Ottawa Irish in their hay day in rhe league, playing for the Sarnia Saints I will never forget how good they were.
I was very proud to of played and scored against the Irish.
RIP Biff

Shocked to hear of the early passing of Bill "Archman" Foster. Condolences to family and friends. A special teammate.

Very sad to hear of such a young "character" passing away. I remember him well as my playing days were winding down and Bill was on the up and up. Sorry I missed the visitation - issues of my own.

RIP Bill . A great rugby man on and off the field .

I played many times against Bill and the Ottawa Irish in the 80's and 90's, as a member of the Yeomen Rugby Club. The games were always hard fought affairs but the post-game conversations with Billy Foster always had lots of laughs. Always looked forward to seeing Billy.

My sincere condolences to the entire Foster family. Our prayers are with you.

Such sad news. My deepest condolences.

Sending warm thoughts and prayers to you and your whole family during this difficult time.
Much Love,

Please accept my deepest sympathies.
I played football with Bob and Bill, gentle Giant, incredible athlete.
Far too young...

Sincere condolences to the Foster Family. Billy was one of the nicest people I have ever met. Far to young.

My most sincere condolences to the entire family on this sudden and shocking loss.
Bill was a very close friend of mine of more than 30 years. We worked together at Nortel for 15 years plus and went to the gym together almost every day.
When Nortel & STM Shutdown, Bill worked for my family construction company until he could complete teachers college and get a job.
Since then we pretty well met up on weekends at the YMCA until he moved to Orleans. He was an awesome guy, so many laughs and good times together! I'll miss his unique language, demeanor and humor. Rest in Peace my good Friend.. I'll miss you!

Joan, Bob, Peter, Scott and families
I have fond memories of Bill sliding on our hills, playing shinny on our creek and getting into mischief with the other fifth line kids. As a young boy, Bill, along with his brothers worked hard on the families' dairy farm. By happenstance, we met in Kanata a few years ago, we had a good talk, I hadn't seen him in many years.
I am sure he was both a beloved teacher and rugby coach. He will be sorely missed.
Thinking of you all of you at this difficult time.

Fond memories of Bill. He was a legend at Earl of March.
He inspired a number of my classmates to take on the game of rugby, that
then, we knew little about. I'm thankful for that.
Sincere condolences.

Bob, Pete, Scott and Joan. We're so sorry to learn of Bill's passing. Many fond memories of our day's during our teen years. May he rest in peace
