I became acquainted with Albert Foster only three months ago, however his kind and warm nature will forever be in my memory. During our visits, I became fond of his amazing sense of humor and happy nature. He told me about his love for his wife Mildred and daughter Dawn, and thanked me many times over...with his award winning smile..for the cup of coffee that I brought to him
