died July 7 after a short illness. He will be sorely missed. Foster was
born in Chattanooga on August 30, 1956. Named for his paternal
grandfather, William Foster Cowan, Foster shared many of his
grandfather’s traits, including a love of the outdoors. As a boy, he
spent time each summer at Forestry Camp and the YMCA’s Camp Ocoee. He
also loved old cars, counting among his collection an MG and several
vintage VW models. He was a voracious reader and especially enjoyed
history and suspense. After graduating from The McCallie School in 1974,
Foster attended Southwestern at Memphis (now Rhodes College) before
transferring to the University of Tennessee. He graduated with degrees
in political science and religious studies, and later found work with
the Hyatt hotels. Some of Foster’s happiest memories were of weeks spent
on Tybee Island, Ga., with his extended family, where he would seek out
the best "crabbing" spots, and spend hours in the hot sun, pulling in
crabs and chatting with other fishermen. The last full week of his life
was spent at Tybee, where he enjoyed the ocean breezes and savored a
memorable meal at one of his favorite restaurants, The Breakfast Club.
Foster had many interests and hobbies , including Boy Scout activities
and making handcrafted gifts , but his greatest passion was reserved for
his children, Grant, Zoe, Tuesday, Taylor and Foster Lee. Other
survivors include his wife Stevie, who gave him tender loving care
during his illness; his parents, Art and Sally Dickerson of Chattanooga;
stepson, Robert Benintende; grandson Cameron Veal; sister and
