Dick Foster
The MEPA Office is saddened by the news of the loss of Richard "Dick" Foster who passed away on July 11, 2006 after a long illness. Dick retired from state service on June 29, 2002 after more than 22 years of service to the Commonwealth as a well-respected Acting MEPA Director, Environmental Analyst, State Geologist, and a Selectman for the Town of Westborough. Dick's insight, patience and brevity will be greatly missed by his friends and colleagues throughout the Commonwealth. Dick was a true Red Sox fan, and we will think of him fondly during baseball season. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Susan and his family.
