Sending my sincere condolences to all of the Foster family. Johnny Foster will always be remembered as a LEGEND for his style in how he could take a country song and make it sound beautiful with that voice.

Every resident of Lanark Lodge looked forward to John and Arnold's monthly volunteered performance which will be truly missed by all. Take care of each other at this difficult time.

A remarkable man, calming mentor, and a true friend. John was someone who would not only show you a different pathway existed, he would be first in line to assist you when the journey got too difficult or overwhelming. John is a very special person who will not be forgotten…the great ones tend be that way.

My deepest condolences to all of John's extended family. Memories flood back of a distinguished gentleman, amazingly picking classic country guitar tunes- accompanied by a velvety bass voice. Sincere words and a firm hand-shake always made you feel that you just had a conversation with an honest man! Everyone in the Country Music circuit will miss you, John!
