Gerald Hoekwater wrote a sympathy message

“We regret not being able to attend the funeral for Phil Foster Saturday. We are attending the ordination of a member of our church to become a priest in Indian River…I have nothing but great memories of Phil when I opened a new Pharmacy inside of Foster’s supermarket because of his great support along with the rest of the family. Jerry’s Pharmacy became very successful because of Almond, Paul, Gloria and my helpers, Cheryl Westdorp and Karen Anscomb who always greeted all with a smile., Jerry”
