Harry,
You were a”kauri” amongst friends, a voice so often there when I needed some clear logical and supportive advice. Your friendship was a blessing to all and you are missed. My thoughts are with you, the pain and anguish can be too much, but rest easy now.

Mr Foster taught me at Waipawa District High School in the 1950's. He installed so many good values in me and gave me a lifetime love of Gilbert and Sullivan. I am so sorry for your loss, he was a wonderful man. I have never forgotten him.
Kharyl Scott 21 Aug 2020
My sincere condolences to the family - the news of Bob's passing brought back so many memories of my school days at Central Hawke's Bay College. Bob was the instigator of my love for all the Gilbert & Sullivan Operas, and my ability to speak passable French. Always a gentleman, and as a Minister always interested in people and with a compassionate outlook for those in need. Truly one of life's good people.

I was at school with Bob Foster. He was older than me.
In later life, as Principal of a college in Waipawa, and later Principal of Central Hawke's Bay College, Bob promoted cricket and several students became recognised players.
For some years there were several teams and keen competition.
Bob and Peter's Dad of course was Principal of Napier Boys' High School.
He was a remarkably competent Classical Pianist and frequently gave those students who had some understanding of music much pleasure. I know he gave at least one recital to an audience in the Napier Art Gallery Museum.
At school, I was more of an age with Bob's younger brother Peter.
