In Fond Remembrance of Foster Namauu Thompson (9/13/1946 - 11/3/2013)

Resident of Mountain View, CA, Foster was a wonderful person, very kind, intelligent, generous and athletic. He was raised on the Monterey Peninsula. He was proud of his role in helping develop the White Stag program for BSA. He tutored Algebra at DeAnza College, and worked for the Monterey County Planning Commission and Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. He loved gardening, hiking, playing games and was a lifelong SF Giants fan. He enjoyed his time with his family and friends. Foster served in the Peace Corps in India and was most proud of his trek to the basecamp of Mt. Everest. He is survived by his partner, Bonnie Harvey, his sister Cheryl, brother Charles, lifelong friend Frank, and a large extended family. We will all miss him. A Celebration of His Life was held on Dec. 14th at 10 a.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto, 505 E. Charleston Rd., Palo Alto, CA. In lieu of flowers, please contribute to your favorite charity. Published in San Jose Mercury News/San Mateo County Times on Dec. 1, 2013
