Martin R. Foss

There´s a Marty Party in Heaven today! We love and Miss You, Marty!

Marty Foss was my best friend, growing up in Litchfield. I regret that we did not stay in touch, and I am sad to hear of his passing.

Just learned at our 55th class reunion that Marty died on my birthday, two weeks before my accident. I get a smile on my face every time I think about him over the years. He was a sweetheart, unique and I think a Godly man. He was truly a good person. He, also, was a lot of fun to be around, and funny. May you rest in Peace, dear Marty, and may Gloria and the family experience Jesus love, guidance and peace for each of them.

Dear Gloria, I remember you both fondly from Camp Friendship. My condolences.

Although I didn't know Marty personally, we have many memories of the Foss Family from the early years, growing up in Litchfield. Mr. & Mrs. Foss were always known for being active in their church, St. Philips Catholic Church, and in the community. They were supporting and loving guides to their many children, who carried on their tradition of loving service to their family, friends, and community. Tom was in my class; Theresa & Bernadette(was in my brother, Bill Shoultz, class. All went on to live lives that reflected their parent's values. We were fortunate to grow up in a community and time where these attributes could be nurtured. Marty certainly was living proof of this, sharing his love with others. We look forward to seeing you at the Service for Marty on Saturday at Calvary(St. Philip's Cemetery). Did Marty like Lutefisk, being the good Norske that he was?

A prized possession of mine is a bust of Shakespeare that Marty got for me when I graduated from Willmar Junior College. He was a good friend.

Thank you, Marty, for everything you did for love....as a hausband, father, teacher,
brother and friend...fr joel kelly,osb

Marty was truly one of the most genuine, kindest and warm-hearted person I have ever met. His smile, positive attitude and love for the Bridge View students will be missed. Staff and students were truly blessed to have known him. Sending thoughts and prayers to the Foss Family.

Thinking of you and your family. I was a 1963 graduate with Marty. We will miss him. In loving memory of a wonderful person.

Marty loved and respected our Bridge View students and they loved him. He will be missed dearly. Thank you for all of your tender care for our students Marty!

One of our favorite highschool friends. Hugs to your family.

Marty was a great addition to Bridge View. He will be missed. Thinking of your family.

We at Bridge View school were truly blessed to have had Marty to help us love our students. He truly loved and appreciated every child and staff in our building. We will miss him tremendously and remember him always. Love and prayers to his family. He spoke of you often and had such pride in you all. Love you Marty!

A greeting, a smile, a laugh-this is how I will remember Marty; the man with a heart of gold. Thanks for all the fun.

My sympathies to all your family. Wish I had known him as an adult, as my memories are only of him as a small boy in Litchfield. Nice reading how highly he was regarded.

My Condolences goes out to Mr.Foss's Family, he was an amazing person to work with, and a awesome person to be around!!!

Gloria and family, so sorry about Marty. He was a very special guy who loved his family, garage sales, and people in general.....he will be missed. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Sharon, Therese, and Ashley

I taught with Marty during the early years at Marshall Junior High. He was a remarkable and caring person. He will be missed.

Gloria, My family sends their deepest sympathy in your loss of Marty. He was an incredible man and I'm so happy I got to work with him. God Bless you and your family. The Ashtons

I had the great honor of Marty substituting in the classroom I work in at Bridgeview. He was very kind and gentle with both the children and the staff. He was a great attribute to the St. Paul public school system. My father also worked alongside him within the St. Paul public schools as they both taught special needs children. He will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to the family and prayers and love to all that loved him.

So sorry to hear about your dad. Our prayers are with you and your family.
Love,
The Anglums
