One who answered the call...
Gary M. Foss
Warm. Gentle. Generous. Caring. Comforting. Gary Foss embodied Christlike attributes in a way that few others have. He gave me – at the time a 24-year-old know-nothing – a chance to join the FCS family as a teacher almost fifteen years ago. He and his wife Andy had established a place of joy and love and excellence, and it means so much to me that they both welcomed me and trusted me to impart the little that I knew to young minds.
Gary’s presence was at once unassuming and weighty, which speaks to his humility and the gifts he had (and the gift he was) from the Lord. He was so steady that I suppose all of us who knew him expected him to be a permanent fixture in the community. As much as I’ll miss him, I am comforted and blessed by knowing that he has been given rest and is enjoying a sweet union with Jesus. – JH.
