How saddened we were to hear of the passing of RL Foster.
Mr. Foster served as a campus custodian and crossing guard
for Flolliday Elementary. He had been employed with the school
district for 3 years and 2 months.
He was universally liked and admired by the teachers, stu-
dents, parents and administrators.
As a crossing guard, he knew the names of all students and
the time they were to come across both morning and afternoons and
called each student by naijie. He greeted each student and parent
with exceptional warmth and kindness.
Mr. Foster was a loving, kind and caring man that earned the
respect of all those who came into contact with him.
He will truly be missed.
