George Foster Obituary

George A. Foster, Jr., known to friends as Scorpio or Scorp, passed away on September 2, 2018, at the age of 65 years. A native of Ipswich, George attended the University of Maine graduating with a degree in history. He spent most of his life working in real estate and as a white water rafting guide. He was recognized by the State of Maine Senate and House for his nearly twenty years of guiding service and was acknowledged as one of the first group of individuals who became whitewater guides. George also had a strong affinity for Harley Davidson and WWII history. Amongst his friends he was known as the life of the party, a story-teller who could captivate an audience for hours. With his deep voice and bellowing cackle, it was always known when George was in the room. There will be a void now that he is gone. However, he would not want tears shed in his name but to carry on with festive activities in his remembrance. He is survived by his son Ian Foster and a daughter Heather Foster both of San Diego; two brothers, Glenn Foster of Newbury, Robert C. Foster and his wife Laura of FL and a sister, Holly Foster of Ipswich. Family and friends are cordially invited to attend visiting hours 4 to 7 pm next Thursday, September 20 in the Whittier-Porter Funeral Home, 6 High Street, Ipswich. For directions of to send a condolence please visit www.whittier-porter.com.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I can't believe that it's a month already that you've gone away I'm having trouble getting through the days without my snuggle bunny Georgie I've talked to chip the pastor and he says you're always with me it was cuz I can't see you you still with me and I carry you around in my house everyday I took you with me today and I took the ride for Bridgewater that we always took every day we looked at all the historical sites that you used to like to look at it felt like you were with me in the car it's comforting to me to take your ashes with me it might sound strange but makes me feel better not the physical form I'm used to but I know it's you I miss you so much everyday seems so long but I know you're watching over me I can feel your presence in my apartment I can see you sitting on the couch I can see you going to the coffee pot I can see you watching TV on my couch and it's freaking me out I don't even want to be here this was a little home for 8 years it was our little nest I feel like I'm talking to you so hard but I have to go on that's what you would have wanted for me to celebrate your life it doesn't seem like too much fun though Watch Over Me and I think of you often your little s c h n o o g i e s
