After nearly 60 years I still have very fond memories of Mr Foster, an inspiring teacher while I was at Avondale College.

Dear Jenny.
Please accept my condolences on the passing of Bob. He was a superb teacher, a true gentleman, a scholar and an exemplary man of faith. His legacy is truly significant. I am currently reading his manuscript, 'Seventy Years in the Solomons. The life and Reminiscences of the Rev. Dr C.E.Fox' - my Great Uncle. Two exceptional men! I will always be grateful for his great friendship with our family. Best wishes.
Dr Dave Bibby PhD.

I will miss you all and am thankful for the kindness and love you all showed me throughout our time while at P.A.

Bob, I know will be greatly missed, and to have had a beautiful family like you all, I know he must've been an amazing and honourable man.

Many blessings to you all,
