Stan Foster
– December 15, 2022
Stan Foster, 80, passed away Dec. 15, 2022. He was born to Alene and Stanley K. Foster, who preceded him in death. Stan is survived by his wife, Cheryl Ritchie-Foster, and a blended family with sons, David Foster, Rob Myers and Devry Cothren; daughters, Genelle Mackey and Angie Stoner; nine grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren; as well as his sister, Joy Tash.
After high school, Stan joined the Navy and served 11 years, including during the Vietnam War. He later graduated with an MBA in 1969 and worked at NASA, later as professor and dean of computer and math dept. in California. He also owned Su Casa Home Appraisal Services.
Stan left a legacy of service as a volunteer with the sheriff department, fire department and multiple boards while in California and, locally, as the first president of the Verona HOA, and later, treasurer, and Renaissance Maintenance Association Board. He continued to be active on committees within Verona. He also volunteered with CERT in Sun City Center. Stan often jumped in helping his neighbors.
Stan and Cheryl enjoyed full time RV travel, which brought them here to Sun City Center six years ago. He was an amazing all-around great guy who loved his family, his community and his country. Stan was admired, loved and respected and was a man of integrity with a delightful quirky sense of humor that enriched the lives of many and will be greatly missed.
We are planning a Celebration of Life March 18 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church in Sun City Center, Fla. More information to come on viewing the celebration if you are not able to come in person.
