Chris W. Foster

Arrangements for cremation are under the direction of the James O'Donnell Funeral Home in Hannibal, MO.

Christopher was born February 10, 1957, in Hannibal, MO, to Christopher W. Foster and Jacqueline Howes Scarbrough.

Christopher was preceded in death by his parents; and one sister, Gayle Hart.

Professionally, Chris was a carpenter by trade and worked up and down on the Mississippi River on barges and other boats. He also worked on the Mississippi Queen for a season.

Away from work, Chris enjoyed being outside on his farm, working in his gardens, and growing his favorite sunflowers. One of Chris' most prized processions was his maroon Heritage Softail Harley Davidson, which he used to take on long rides with his brother, James. He loved his bike and everything that had to do with Harley's. Chris was a movie buff and enjoyed pretty much any genre, from sci-fi to Westerns. Chris was a classic rock guy, with his favorite radio station being 106.7. He loved to grill and made the best pork loin with all the fixings. Chris was a very generous, funny, independent, and compassionate person who loved to help people any chance he got. Chris was very proud of his family and cherished his time spent with them, especially his nephew, Schuyler, who was the son he never had, and his beloved dogs, Osiris, Aggie, and Bo$$. Chris will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
