116 Condolences

Foster – Edward (Ted) Allan, Brooklyn, NS died peacefully on May 16, 2018, bringing to an end his incredible journey of 93 years.
Born May 13, 1925, the son of Edward and Alice (Redford) Foster.
He is survived by his loving wife of 70 years Joyce (Kaiser), their 6 children Janice (Keith) Foster, Saskatoon, Allan (Bertha) Foster, Milton, Ken (Debbie) Foster, Ortonville, Mi, Darryl (Heather) Foster, Saskatoon, Greig (Darlene) Foster, Saskatoon, Gail (Bev) Davison, Brooklyn, 11 grandchildren and 5 great- grandchildren.
He was predeceased by his sister Frances Moreton and his adopted brother Wendell Tidmarsh.
Ted joined the air force at a young age before working at Bowater Mersey Paper Company in Purchasing and Stores where he retired as Purchasing Manager in 1986.
Ted was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing, hunting and boating. He was also actively involved with various sports such as ball, hockey and bowling. He was a member of the Atlantic Divers taking many pictures of laying underground cables and searching for “treasure” at Oak Island. He was member of the Liverpool Barbershop Quartet and loved music. In his retirement years he was an active member of the Queens County ATV Association and pursued interests in gardening and woodworking.
Ted was a devoted husband, loving father and well-respected member of the community. His family cherishes the memories of his involvement with teaching Air Cadets, coaching their many sports teams, hunting and fishing trips and outings to Long Cove and Coffins Island. He loved seeing his family enjoying life. It is with heavy hearts that we say good-bye but you will always be fondly remembered in our hearts.
