Walter Kimble Foster, better known as Kim, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on September 29, 2023, at the age of 83 in Nashville, Tennessee.

He dedicated 36 years of his life as a librarian at the East Branch Public Library, retiring as the Head Librarian in May of 2000.
Kim was a beloved husband of 57 years to Peggy Lee Foster and a cherished father to Ped Foster (Jeanne), Jackie Foil (Bo), and Jaime Horton (Mike).
