FRED FOSTER was an outstanding person. He had THE GIFT AND FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. He was always full of JOY no matter what the circumstances. I will truly miss his HAPPY face.
I taught JANICE, KELLEY AND AMY at LINDA VISTA CATHOLIC MONTESSORI SCHOOL. He would come to Grandparent's Day and would enjoy the appetizers that the children had made. I would always make certain that he knew that the children had washed their hands before they made those snacks
I remember when Mr Slevin was killed in an accident due to the rain while he was helping someone on the road. Fred became like a father to the Slevin children. Meredith Slevin was in my 3-6 yrs old MONTESSORI CLASSROOM.
I will miss FRED's friendship

Your dad was so gregarious and I will always remember him with a big smile on his face.

To my Aunt Pat and the family of my dear Uncle Fred: Andrew and I are so very sorry for your loss and we pray that friends and family comfort you in the dark days to come. We will always be thankful for the long conversations with Fred and Pat, but especially for Fred's strong opinions and views. In this day and age many people ride the politically correct bus.
