his friends. He was a member of the Loyal Order of Moose, the Fraternal Order 
of Eagles, and the American Legion.
     In addition to his friend and companion Deanne Curtiss, he is survived by 
his children; sons Tim Foster of Tualitin, Ted Foster of Modesto, Calif.; and 
his daughter Tammy Rudy of Austin, Texas; brothers Chuck Foster of Alton, 
Ill., and Marty Conroy of Poulsbo, Wash.; sisters Margaret and Susie Conroy of 
Portland, and Gena Qedon of Beaverton; grandchildren Megan and Taylor Rudy and 
Nolan Foster; nieces Paula Middaugh, DeAnne Page, Katie and Rochelle Conroy.
