Charles "Chuck" Donald FosterPassed away at his home on Wednesday, October 3rd on his 88th birthday with his loving wife Colleen by his side. He is preceded in death by his parents, Allan and Katherine (nee Petri) Foster, his sister Mary Anne Ronchetto, brother in-law Jack Ronchetto, sister in-law Joan (nee Anderson) Foster and son in-law Brian Skunes. He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Colleen Foster, their three children: Michael Foster, David (Lori) Foster and Jennifer Skunes, his brother Thomas Foster and his nieces Lynn and Mary Kay Ronchetto. He was also a devoted grandpa to his four grandchildren, Ian and Brooke Foster and Rachel and Sam Skunes. Chuck was born in Milwaukee on October 3, 1930, where he grew up and graduated from Wauwatosa High School. He then attended Carroll College, graduating in 1953. While at Carroll, he was a member of one of the state's oldest fraternities, Beta Pi Epsilon and he excelled in athletics. His senior year, he was selected as the outstanding athlete of the 1953 senior class. Chuck also earned three letters in football and three in basketball. His football coach claimed that he was the "best pass catching end that Carroll has ever had". Chuck's basketball record was equally brilliant, leading the team in scoring in back-to-back seasons. In 1973, Chuck was honored as one of the first inductees into the Carroll Athletic Hall of Fame. He was given the title "Mr. Competition" by his coaches, because of his sincere desire to win and his perseverance on the practice field. Upon graduation, Chuck joined the Army, where his athletic success followed. He played service football in Europe on the Army's championship team and played catcher on the Army baseball team. Following his return, Chuck was signed by the Green Bay Packers and joined a star-studded '56 rookie class that included Hall of Famers Bart Starr and Forrest Gregg. Although he didn't make the cut, his passion for sports continued throughout his life. Chuck then began a 35 year career at the Wisconsin Electric Power Company where he received multiple service awards for his work as the Superintendent of Property Management until his retirement. Chuck married Colleen in 1971, and they began a 47 year partnership raising three children together and creating a lifetime of wonderful memories. Whether playing golf with his friends, fast-pitch softball, handball or basketball in the driveway with the neighborhood, Chuck loved to play and compete. He had many hobbies, but more than anything, he loved going to the family cabin in northern Wisconsin, trout fishing on his favorite streams, splitting wood for his coveted wood pile and watching his children and grandchildren growing up appreciating all that nature offers. A devoted Son, Brother, Uncle, Husband, Father, Grandfather and Friend, Chuck's presence will be missed. A memorial service celebrating Chuck's life will be held October 19, 2018 at the First Congregational Church of Wauwatosa at 4:00pm, where Chuck was a member for over 50 years.
