ROBERT WARREN FOSTER

Robert “Bob” Warren Foster passed away unexpectedly November 27, 2022 at his home in Franklin, La. Bob was born April 26, 1954 in Plainfield, N.J. to parents Milton and Elsie “Irene” Foster. Bob spent most of his childhood growing up in Warren, N.J.
His love of horses showed at a young age which led him to Cornell University for large animal study. Bob spent many years as a farrier and riding broncos and bulls in the rodeo. Nursing a broken leg from a bucking bronco, he would meet the love of his life, Deborah Foley Foster, at the Top of the Hill Tavern where she often sang country music. They started their lives together in Ho-Ho-Kus, N.J. with sons Liam and Evan and later on to arrive, daughter Calla. Bob worked for Moretrench American Corp., working his way up from driller and mechanic to project lead. After 25 years in Ho-Ho-Kus, he accepted a job opportunity in South Louisiana and moved his family to Franklin, where they settled in and embraced the Cajun culture.
Bob was a jack of all trades and singularly skilled at working with his hands. This gave him the opportunity to establish Foster Construction Services, which he ran for many years before retiring. Anyone that knew him would attest that he would lend a helping hand to anyone and was a dedicated family man.
Bob is survived by his children Calla (Tony) Trosclair and Liam (Robin) Farrell, brother Randy (Robin) Foster, sister-in-law Nan (Tom) Mitchell, grandchildren William, Emmaline, Azalea, Everett, Evan and Lucy, as well as several nieces.
He was preceded in death by his wife Deborah Foster, parents Milton and Irene and son Evan Farrell.
A memorial will be held in New Iberia, LA for immediate family at a later date.
