It is with a heavy heart that the Alumni Association must inform Leo Alumni, Friends of Leo, and Relatives and Friends of Robert W. “Bob” Foster, of his passing on November 26th, 2019.
Among his many achievements in life, for Leo Men, the following excerpts from his obituary, taken from the Robert W. Sheehy Funeral Home website, touch the surface on his contribution to Leo High School:
