(KAIR)--An entrepreneur, a businessman, a civic leader, and a member of the Kansas Fair Board Hall of Fame.
Those achievements are remembered about Ray Foster, who died at his Horton home on the Fourth of July. He was 98-years-old.
According to his obituary, from Horton's Dishon-Maple-Chaney Mortuary, along with founding the long running Foster Ford dealership with his brother, Hugh, in 1956, Foster's community work helped define him, as he spent many hours volunteering in the Horton community.
He was a charter member and officer in the Industrial Development Corp, served on the Board of Education, was co-chair of the Fundraising Committee to build the Horton Hospital, served on the Chamber of Commerce Board, was an officer on the Tri-County Fair Board for 26 years and is in the Kansas Fair Board Hall of Fame. He was the first president of the Liberty Theater Board, and served on the Horton Zoning Commission.
Foster's funeral will be Monday afternoon, at 1:00, at the United Methodist Church, in Horton, with burial in Effingham's Evergreen Cemetery.
