John Foster was a larger-than-life husband and father who saved two children from drowning, was the first to volunteer his time with charities, and used his ham radio to help during emergencies.
But Foster, who was surrounded by people in life, died at age 60 in Riverview Health Centre’s palliative ward on April 9, with only his wife and one of his children at his bedside because of visitor restrictions due to COVID-19.
