"You Do Work"
On Wednesday November 27, 2024, Richard Foster passed away peacefully at Huron Hospice Bender House after an inspirational battle with cancer. Richard is survived by his wife Judy (nee Steckley). Proud father of sons Jesse (Michelle), Josh (Erica), Chad (Brooke), and daughter Tiffany (Jeff). He has eight grandchildren whom he adored; Trenton, Keaton, Kaitlin, Grayson, Beckett, Maitland, Claya and Elizabeth.
Richard was born in Trowbridge, England on May 11, 1947. He moved to Canada at the age of four and was raised in Mitchell, Ontario. Richard was a certified machinist, welder, and tool and die maker. In 1977 he and Judy purchased a farm in West Wawanosh Township where he took pride in raising a family and working on the farm until the final stage of his illness. He also served as a councillor for West Wawanosh Township from 1991 – 1994. Richard loved visiting his neighbours and friends and getting big hugs from his grandkids. He was also very proud to become a Canadian citizen in 2012.
