Our Deepest Condolences to The Family,Love Ones and Friends of The Late Coach Foster.We all were School mates at South Macon High School in South Macon County, Crossroad, Roba, on County Road 47 in Macon County, Alabama.'The Class of 1967' 💙💛🏫🕊🙏🏼⛪️🌹🏀
I met Lyman in 1972 and he called me by my nickname "Jenk." One day in the student center he approached me about officiating high school basketball. I was excited for the opportunity, but my career plans took me to New York and officiating didn't fit at that time. 😎 Let the record reflect, I became a basketball and football official in 1986 for the SC High School League. May God comfort and strengthen you and the family during and beyond bereavement. In Jesus Christ name, Amen 🙏🏾❤️, Amen 🙏🏾 ❤️ & Amen 🙏🏾 ❤️
Deepest sympathy and prayers to the family.
Thanks for the memories, Coach.
