Leo Foster

Memorial Services for Mr. Leo "Papi" Foster, Jr., 55, of Dublin, will be held on Saturday, November 8, 2014 at 5 PM in the C. D. Dudley Memorial Chapel at the Dudley Funeral Home.

Mr. Foster was born on January 22, 1959, to the late Mr. Leo Foster Sr. and Mrs. Musetta E. Foster. Leo was the eldest son of the family and the fourth of six children born to this union. He passed away on November 5, 2014.

Mr. Foster was raised in Detroit, Michigan and, after graduating high school, joined the United States Navy. However, being that art was his life, his hands were his most prized possession. After his service in the Navy, Leo graduated from California College of Arts and Craft in Oakland, California, with a bachelors degree in Fine Art. Leo worked as a graphic designer and owned his own business while living in California.

Living life was never a problem for him as shown by his adventures both foreign (Thailand) and domestic. Papi constantly showed his commitment to family through his unwavering determination to attend family events across the country. Leo is deeply missed by his family, brothers of the Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. (he was on the 1st line in West Coast Explosion), and his "girls " Blackie" and "Brownie".

Mr. Foster was preceded in death by his siblings, Carolyn Smith and James (Carolyn) Brown.

In addition to art, family meant everything to him. He is survived by his son Nicholas; son-in-law Yamvo; daughters: Yemaya, Isis, and Ayana; and grandsons: Ja'far and Masai. He leaves his mother, Musetta E. Foster; siblings: Brenda, Beverly, Lisa (Dempsey), Levi (Lilian), Rebecca (James), and Clarence; and a host of nieces, nephews, and dear friends to cherish his memory.

The family will receive friends at 3698 Highway 441 South, Dublin.
