John Robert Foskey passed from this life on to his eternal home on July 26, 2020 in Frisco, TX. He was born to Fred and Patricia Foskey on November 23, 1958 in East Cleveland, Ohio. John was the middle child of the four Foskey brothers. Growing up in East Cleveland he was always playing sports (baseball, basketball and football), family and friends were amazed at his incredible talent and work ethic which was exhibited in the numerous championship games even the Pony League World Series.

Nicknamed “Fosk”, his family and friends will always remember him as the guy who would drop everything he was doing to go help out someone at the blink of an eye. He was completely selfless. John will be remembered as the funny guy who loved golf, to hang out and drink beer with all of his many friends. John had nicknames for everyone he knew, could go and have a conversation with anyone he wanted to and witty enough to dish out any and all comebacks to anyone talking trash.

He travelled all over the United States for years meeting clients, VP’s, and CEO’s to close large contracts in the plastics industry.

When asked where his favorite place to be was, John would respond by reciting his daily routine of barhopping – starting at Twin Peaks then moving towards the Plantation Golf Clubhouse before settling in at home for the evening almost every day. He would end the day with a glass of wine in his long sleeve shirt, pajama pants, and wool socks on the recliner at night.

John had many interests including Baseball, Basketball, Golf, Football, Billiards and Ping Pong. He was a jack of all trades – could instantly become talented and competitive at anything he picked up. His son, John recounts watching his Father knock out 3 point shot after 3 point shot during pickup basketball games at the gym, hitting home runs on demand in his softball league games, and getting to golf with him are memories he’ll never forget.

John enjoyed action movies with Steven Seagal, Jason Bourne movies, Country music, watching Texas Hold’em Poker and Chicago PD on TV.
