Tahoma mourns the passing of one her stalwart citizens: Colman Foster. Colman and his wife have been regulars here for over 45 years. They first came in the 70's, bringing student athletes to train in the fresh mountain air of Lake Tahoe. As track coaches, they understood the benefits of fresh air as opposed to the smog and pollution of Southern California that had become a significant problem in the 60's and 70's.
Colman brought with him his abiding faith in his Lord, Jesus, and he identified as a man of the faith, preaching his philosophy of life on a regular basis. He was a generous man with his time and thoughts. He was caring and thoughtful to all.
Despite his health problems over the last few years, he maintained a positive outlook, and looked the future right in the eye. He leaves a daughter and son-in-law, and his beloved grand daughter, Liz.
A memorial service was held yesterday, August 1st, in Tahoma's local park. It was well attended and kind words were spoken by the many.
He will be missed and long remembered by family and friends. Donations to your favorite charity are appreciated.
