Howard Foster Obituary
A recent Venice resident, Howard relocated to the warmer climes of Venice in 2021 from Cape Cod. A graduate of UMASS Amherst, an engineer, and an all-around good guy, who was definitely a bit of a character.
Howard resided at The Floridian Club, making a habit of grabbing a free coffee and free WiFi at the Resident Lounge, most mornings. Howard loved a bargain and hated waste - a self-proclaimed "scrimper", Howard loved thrift shopping and could be seen regularly at Treasures and Habitat for Humanity stores! He loved learning and science; regularly attending the Venice Library's "Science Matters" meetings. He was for years a certified flight instructor, staunch Republican and banjo player!
Howard is survived by his two children, Brad and Alison...and brother Hank!

I was so shocked to find OUR Howard had passed. He was a wonderful, kind and smart man. I used to converse with him almost every day at the Floridian Club where he had me take his blood pressure and offer advise since I am a nurse. He said he needed to get a primary care physician so I referred him to someone I trust and he liked my choice. Of course he always had something to say about his "49ers" and so enjoyed dining with his brother and sister in law at Aston Gardens and Chez 57. I tried to send a sympathy card ,however, it was returned undeliverable. Perhaps Hank has a different last name. Whomever read this understand how very much we miss him!

I lived across the street from Howard at The Floridian. I spent time with him both at the coffee shop as well as at the Woodmere Library where we used to attend lectures. He was a great friend and a gentleman; he will be sorely missed.

I´m Howard´s neighbor who lived across the street from him at the Floridian Club. He was a gentleman who had a good sense of humor. I would see him riding his bike all the the time or down in the gym. Rest in peace my friend.
