It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert William Foster, who left us
\npeacefully on May 1, 2025, at the age of 80. Born in Ottawa on July 28, 1944, Robert was a
\ndevoted husband, proud father, loving grandfather and great-grandfather, a cherished
\nbrother, and a loyal friend to many.<\/p>\n

Robert lived a full and generous life. He was a hardworking man who gave selflessly to
\nothers and never hesitated to lend a hand to anyone in need. He had a big personality, a
\nbooming laugh, and a zest for life that was contagious. He loved football, enjoyed a good
\ncigar and a fine glass of scotch, and found joy in gardening with his legendary green
\nthumb. Robert had a deep love for animals and most of all, he adored his family. His
\ngreatest pride was watching his grandchildren grow and thrive and he cherished every
\nmoment spent with them.<\/p>\n

He is survived by his beloved wife of 58 years, Diane Foster and their children Wayne
\n(Lori), Tina (Pierre) and Cindy (Shawn). He will be dearly missed by his grandchildren
\nKylie(Joe), Justin, Brett(Katie), Corey(Taylor), Brittany(Ryan), Alyssa, Matthew and Jacob,
\nas well as his great-grandchildren Jameson, Walker and Sailor. Robert is also survived by
\nhis brother, Earl Foster(Lorraine). Many nieces and nephews and his beloved pouch Bella.<\/p>\n

He was predeceased by his parents, Juliette and Orville Foster and siblings Mildred
\nSullivan and Victor Foster.<\/p>\n

A Celebration of Life will be held in Robert’s honour on May 25, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 4:00
\nPM at 3545 Leitrim Road, Building 268, Gloucester, Ontario. All who knew and loved Robert
\nare welcome to attend, share stories, and celebrate a life well lived.<\/p>\n

Robert’s warmth, reliability, and sense of humor will live on in the hearts of all who were
\nlucky enough to know him. Our lives will never be the same without you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
