William Foster

William (Bill) C. Foster passed away peacefully on Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2015 in Glenns Ferry, Idaho. A graveside inurnment will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 2, 2015, at Glenn Rest Cemetery. Cremation was under the direction of Rost Funeral Home, McMurtrey Chapel in Mountain Home.

Bill was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on March 26, 1937. He was raised by his parents in New York along with his sisters and brother.

Bill decided it was his calling in life to work with his hands and spent his life roofing and remodeling. He was very good at what he did and took pride in his finished work.

He ended up moving to Texas and spent quite a few years there. After fixing all the roofs in Texas (smile), he made his way to Glenns Ferry, Idaho, to be closer to his sister, Kathy.

That is when he met and fell in love with his wife, Janice L. Andrews. They were married on July 14, 1991. Poor Bill had no idea what he was in for when he acquired five step-children (smile).

Bill will be missed greatly by his family and numerous friends.

Bill was preceded in death by his mother, father, sister and nephew. He commented days before his passing that he was, "going to see Mama."

He is survived by his wife, Janice Foster; sister (and brother in law), Kathy and Gerald Hilty; brother, Robert Foster (and wife) of Brooklyn, N.Y.; five step children; nine step grandchildren; five nieces; 14 great nieces and nephews and four great great nieces and nephews.
