Joseph Foor Obituary
Losing his fight to a sudden illness, Joseph Thomas Foor, 80, (June 16, 1938-August 8, 2018), died peacefully at Pikes Peak Hospice in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He was a loving husband, strong father, grandfather, great grandfather and great-great grandfather. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1955-1959. During his career he was a Lucas County Deputy Sheriff, Maintenance Foreman for TARTA for 18 years, worked for the Do-All Company and drove a truck for Commercial Motor Freight. As a Mason he served in many capacities and was a past Master of Barton Smith Lodge #613. He was awarded the KYCH, OPC, and earned the Distinguished Service Award from his chapter. He was a past State President for the High-12 Club, belonging to East Toledo Club #324. As a member of Eastminster Presbyterian Church he served on Deacon and Session committees. He was a coach for the North Toledo Old Timers and announcer at football games.
He was married to Isabelle Beauch (deceased) 31 years, Mary McGee (deceased) seven years, and is survived by his wife, Katherine J. Foor (20 years) and his children, Joseph T. Foor Jr. (Deanna), Beverly (Brady) Tye, Debie (David) Smith, Howard (Becky) Foor, and Matthew (Heather) Miller. He was proud of his nine grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Kay Bowser (Texas) and his brother, William (Karen) Foor of Mansfield, OH and many brothers-in law, sisters-in law, nieces and nephews. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him as a strong and opinionated man. We would like to say a special thank you to Charlie and Debbie Miller in Colorado for their hospitality and care.
