Larry Francis Foster

Larry Francis Foster of Wellington died after a short illness at Ascension Via Christi St. Francis in Wichita on Saturday, July 20, 2024, at the age of 81.

Larry was born on April 21, 1943, in Wellington, the son of Carl and Mildred (Schilling) Foster.

Larry was a talented and dedicated mechanic who left an indelible mark on the automotive industry and the lives of those around him. His reliable nature and generous spirit were the cornerstones of his character, which made him a pillar of strength to those who knew him.
