To Pat, Scott, Bruce, Melissa, and Families,
As a long time patient of Doctor Foster–from 1961 until his retirement–I want to offer my condolences to all of you at this sad time.  I became one of “Doc’s” early patients when I was a U.R. student suffering from a painful abcess, and he was a young dentist with an office in the Sibley Tower Bldg.  In those days, the “family” dentist did it all:  no sending the patient off to specialists for a root canal.  I could always count on Doctor Foster to take good care of me, so that, now at seventy-four, I still have all of my own teeth, albeit crowned.  He was an excellent practitioner, a kind person, and through the years a friend.  God bless.
With sympathy,
Pat VanKouwenberg
