James C. “Jim” Foster 1930-1986

James C. “Jim” Foster was born a son of Clarence Earl Foster and Beulah (Adkins) Foster on February 2, 1930 in Waynesville, Missouri and he departed this life November 11, 1986 at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri at the age of 56 years.

Jim was united in marriage to Karen Dover June 19, 1957 and to this union three children were born, Timothy, Terry, and Tawanjia Foster.

Jim was baptized into Christ in 1972 and was a member of the Waynesville Church of Christ.

In addition to his deep love for his family and many friends, Jim had a great talent and commitment as a Country Western singer and writer and he had made several recordings and tapes.  This something that will live on in his memory.  Jim had a great sense of humor and a “dry” wit.  He was a hard worker and took pride in it.
