David was born in Jackson, Michigan on February 14, 1945 to Chalmer and Caroline Foster. He graduated from Jackson High in 1963 and worked for Miller Truck and Storage for 38 years. David was a devoted husband, father, grandpa and also became known as PAPA. He enjoyed fishing and his love for wood work. He was very skilled in his hand-crafted wood work from remodeling his home to his beloved cabin up north. David has made each grandchild a clock to be given as wedding presents. David and Janet loved to travel, from France to Alaska and all over the USA. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him.

A special thank you to Henry Ford Allegiance Hospice for their care and compassion shown to David.
