Richard P. "Rick" Foster Obituary (1960

Richard P. "Rick" Foster, 61, of Shelbyville, passed away September 23, 2021 at St. Francis Hospital. Born April 1, 1960 in Oneida Tennessee, he was the son of Ray Donald Foster and Edna Delores (Cotton) Foster. He married Rhonda Foster and she preceded him on July 9, 2021. Survivors include a son Andrew Foster of Shelbyville, daughter Amber Ogden (husband Dustin) of Shelbyville; sister Hattie Craft (husband Rick) of Tennessee; 4 grandchildren- Blayze, Tylir, Thomas, & Luna, and one great grandchild Claire. He was preceded in death by his parents, his spouse, 3 siblings- Wayne Foster, Dewan Lollar, and Terri Harrison. Mr. Foster had lived in this area for 13 years, after moving from Tennessee. He had attended Shelbyville High School. Dad spent the first part of his life in Oneida, TN and finished his life in Shelbyville, IN but he made friends wherever he went. He was a genuinely kind and loving man who didn't know a stranger. He was a strong Christian and truly a man after God's heart. Dad would help anyone who needed it, in whatever way he could. He was a southern man who enjoyed good old fashioned front porch sittin. With his glass of tea and a bent ear you could talk with him for hours. He was the person we all turned to and could talk to about anything. Some say he was like a brother, he had a pleasant heart and even a heck of a good man. To say that this funny, caring, grateful, storm chasing, cat hating, purdy nurse- loving man will be missed is an understatement. But anyone who was lucky enough to be blessed by his big heart will hold on to his memories forever. A Celebration of Life will be held on October 23, 2021 from 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm at 2598 W. Boggstown Road, Shelbyville. In lieu of flowers please donate to American Heart Association, in care of the funeral home.
