Clarence Raymond Foltz

Clarence “Chuck” Foltz was known to some as Chuck “O’Doul’s” and to the family as simply “Babe.” The name came from a beloved story read to him by his sisters from grade school. The character in the story was Baby Ray and, since his middle name was Raymond, they started calling him Baby Ray which was shortened to Babe. Loved for his humor, even if we didn’t get the joke, his wisdom he shared from all his experiences, his courage in the face of any obstacles, and the love he had for everyone he knew. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Air Force for 26 years before retiring in July of 1973. He belonged to the VFW Post 6012 and the American Legion for many years. He is survived by his younger two siblings - Adel Howard of Hobart, IN and Marion ‘Mike’ Foltz of Herscher, IL; four children- Susan Foltz of Playa Del Rey, CA, Edward Foltz and wife Jo Ann of Gig Harbor, WA, Vivian Foltz of San Antonio, and Mike Foltz and wife Stacey of San Antonio; two grandchildren- Morgan Payg Everett of San Antonio, TX and Aiden Foltz of Washington; two step-granddaughters- Kasaundra Everett and Laticia Herrera, both in Texas; and numerous nieces and nephews. A visitation will be held on Thursday January 15, 2015 at Sunset Northwest Funeral home from 5-9 pm. A graveside service will be held on Friday January 16, 2015 at Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery at 10:15 am.
