Larry “Moose” Foster, 81, of Gladstone, Illinois, died Wednesday, June 29, 2022 at the Monmouth Care Center in Monmouth, Illinois.

Larry retired from J. I. Case after 30 years service and then went to work for Twomey Company in Gladstone for another 15 years.
He was of the Presbyterian faith.
Larry loved to golf and could often be found on Hend-Co Hills golf course twice a day after his “second” retirement. He was an avid reader and was one of the Henderson County Public Library’s best customers. Larry will be remembered by his family and friends as an extremely loyal and hardworking gentleman. He was smart as a whip, generous to a fault, loved animals, and cried at sad movies. He could be stubborn and always had an opinion to share, but his was a very soft, caring heart. He loved to debate, especially politics, always stood up for what he believed in, was a champion of the underdog, believed in equal rights for all, and was TRUE BLUE from head to toe. He was truly one of a kind. He was very proud of both of his kids and his granddaughter, but great granddaughter Oaklee hung the moon!
He is survived by his daughter Stacey Foster of Burlington; granddaughter Erin Foster of New London; great granddaughter Oaklee Foster of New London; grand dog Rocco; two sisters, Charlotte Coursey of Burlington and Mary Taylor of Banning, California; brother Richard “Pee Wee” (Diana) Foster of Oquawka, Illinois, many special nieces and nephews and in-laws.
