Richard Lewis Foster, 58, of Gardner, Kansas passed away at home on Wednesday, December 21, 2022. He will forever be remembered as a loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin and friend to everyone he knew.
Richard was born on September 4, 1964 in Gardner, Kansas to Robert Lee and Rosalie (Toothman) Foster. He attended and graduated from Olathe High School, and served his country in the U.S. Army. He worked as a truck driver in the construction industry.
