Mr. Bruce Terry Foster
October 15, 1938 - March 8, 2010.

This week we mourn the loss of our past chairman, Mr. Bruce T. Foster, known to so many as BT. Mr. Foster led the Medina Healthcare Fund through a very challenging period, helping us raise the matching funds necessary for the USDA loan that allowed Medina Regional Hospital to expand and grow. He joined the MHF Board in March 2004, and was elected Chairman in October 2005; he served in that office through the first few months of 2008.

If you never got to know him or work with him on a committee, you missed knowing a really down-to-earth man and a great leader. The family has named the Medina Healthcare Fund as one of three charities to receive memorials in lieu of flowers. The Medina Healthcare Fund Board of Directors greatly appreciates their thoughtfulness and generosity during this difficult time. We extend our sincerest sympathy to all who knew and loved him.

Bruce "B.T." Terry Foster, age 71, of Hondo, passed away March 8, 2010. He was born October 15, 1938 in Cleveland, Ohio.

B.T. was an active member of the community. He spent many years on the Board of Directors of Community National Bank and was a Lifetime Director of the San Antonio Livestock exposition. He was also a very active member of First Baptist Church of Hondo and proud alum of Texas A&M class of 1966.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Sam and Lou Mount of Maryville, TN.

B.T. is survived by his wife, Jo Foster of Hondo; sister and brother-in-law, Diane and Bruce Lederer of Cleveland, OH; son and daughter-in-law, Chip and Kris Macon of D'Hanis; grandchildren, Jake, Tye and Grace Macon of D'Hanis; brothers and sisters-in-law, James and Patricia Leonard of Del Rio and Tom and Shearley Forrest of San Antonio.

A graveside service will be held Friday, March 12, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. at Sunset Memorial Park in San Antonio.

The family suggest memorials made to Medina Healthcare Fund, First Baptist Church Building Fund or D'Hanis Educational Foundation.
