Paul Bernard Foster

Raymond

Paul Bernard Foster, 82, of Raymond passed away peacefully on June 14, 2022 at his beach house in Pine Point, Scarborough.

Paul was born April 19, 1940, in Portland, the son of Wilbur A. Foster and Phyllis L. Foster (Restuccia). He grew up in Westbrook and spent his summers working at the Pine Point Inn. He graduated from Westbrook High School in 1958 then attended the University of Maine at Orono, earning a degree in mechanical engineering.

He married his high school sweetheart, Janet Beaudry.  While their marriage didn't last as they had hoped, they raised four children he was deeply proud of and enjoyed the time he spent with them and his family at the camp on Little Sebago.

While in his thirties, Paul married Deborah A. Myers. It was a marriage that endured for six years.

Paul worked his entire career as a mechanical engineer. He designed his house in Raymond and built a large part of it himself. It was in Raymond that Paul met his wife, June C. Lurvey (Collins).  She had 5 adult children from a previous marriage whom he opened his heart to. Paul always had a project he was working on. He loved Maine's outdoors and enjoyed fishing, four-wheeling, taking walks, gardening, cooking, and the shelties he owned over the years.

He will be forever cherished by his wife of 37 years, June Foster; sister, Mary Doherty and husband Sheldon; brother, Phil Foster and wife Barbara; son, Ronald Foster and wife Theresa; son, Daniel Foster and wife Karen; son, David Foster and wife Nicole; daughter, Beth Jones; step son, Stephen (Chip) Lurvey; step son, Mark Lurvey and wife Spring; step daughter, Shelley Haller and husband Lloyd; step daughter, Kym Lurvey-Bedard and husband Christian; step son, Kirk Lurvey and wife Claudine; grandchildren Brandon, Kayla, Justine, Sebastian, Anna, Ezra, David, Briann, Britney, Alyssa, Stephen, Heidi, Hunter, Blake, Lauren, Kaylee, Nadya, Anton, Josh, Taylor and Jacob; 13 great grandchildren and many other loving relatives and friends.
