Douglas L. Foster
March 3, 1931 ~ February 28, 2016
Douglas L. Foster, M.D., 84, of Essexville, our devoted, lovable, and creative father, grandfather, brother, dear friend, and physician went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, February 28, 2016 at McLaren Bay Region. Dr. Foster was born in New York City on March 3, 1931. His undergraduate studies were completed at City College of New York, where he graduated in 1953 with a Bachelor of Science Degree. Dr. Foster’s true calling in life was to serve and assist others through their trials and tribulations. He graduated in 1957 from Meharry Medical College’s School of Medicine in Nashville, TN, where he served as a research assistant from 1955-1956. His internship was completed at St. Margaret Hospital in Hammond, Indiana. It was in Indiana where Dr. Foster began his private practice in general medicine. Dr. Foster furthered his skills at Menninger School of Psychiatry (1961-1964), and completed his residency at Topeka V.A. Hospital. He proudly served in the U.S. Navy from 1957-1966. Dr. Foster was the medical director and owner of Michigan Behavioral Health Institute and co-owner of Red Oaks Adult Foster Care. He was the former medical director of Health Source Saginaw’s Mental Health Inpatient Unit and was a former member of the Utilization Review Committee at McLaren Bay Region. His commitment to those in need earned him a distinguished reputation for excellence in psychiatric outpatient services, community mental health centers, substance abuse programs, and children and adolescent programs. Dr. Foster was a man of great compassion, knowledge, and wisdom. He influenced many, and his heart was larger than life. Helping others, mentoring, and always focusing on the positive were some of his greatest attributes. He enjoyed woodworking, electronics, traveling, and attending the opera. Left to cherish his memory are his three children, Douglas Foster II (Nadine Walmsley), David Foster, Deveda Foster, and brother, Elmer Foster. He will forever be remembered by his very special friend of 36 years, Patti Matuszewski; honorary grandchildren, Marissa Sharrow and Stephen O’Neil, and the entire Sharrow family. Dr. Foster was predeceased by his parents and sister. Dr. Foster’s family will be present to receive visitors on Saturday, March 5, 2016 from 5:00 PM until 8:00 PM, Sunday, March 6, 2016 from 11:00 AM until 9:00 PM, and Monday, March 7, 2016 from 9:00 AM until the time of Dr. Foster's 10:00 AM Celebration of Life at Skorupski Family Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 955 N. Pine Rd., Hampton Twp. Interment will follow in St. Patrick Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to the Menninger Clinic (www.menningerclinic.com).

My relationship with this man began at the tender age of approximately thirteen or fourteen years, & continues into the thirties that currently I find myself living in today. You could say the most important times of a life are the adolescent years of a person, when the right and or the wrong connections are established & nurtured. In terms of the business model of a psychiatrist, a model found & applied to the lives of those brought into the industry more or less by the hands of mothers or fathers who outcast & ostracize one or more of their children with the clinical diagnosis of poverty, bad parenting skills, and the like, this man did his part because I’ve yet to have the simple kind of life align with respect to the simplicity of those connections I was forced to have sacrificed for the betterment of this man’s career. Along the way in our relationship, I found myself as one of a kind in terms of having taken the time to earn the educational credentials not at all common from the perspective of those brought in to this industry as children relatively orphaned by living parents, and it was during and after my years of learning at the university where likewise I really learned to appreciate & respect him as a wonderful business man more than anything, even if the right connections to the simple life worth having and working in after all those years decided to come up shy for me by method of the same business plan forgetting to open the right doors for the one in a million young man who won all the wars & absolutely loved shaking hands with him and looking into his eyes with the Bachelor & Masters degree I picked up in Business Adm./Management, that are of absolutely no use economically because of the years he took to keep me on this side of the show, instead of simply finding a fast way to welcome me in to the side that complements the right connections made after you win upstairs. Tomorrow I wake up in my sixties; this prime and ambition of a young man who knows what it is will have passed like the thought of what could have been had the white space of the character in the coloring book been healed with a career in the light at the end of the tunnel instead of being kept dependent on the system after graduation, and yet I remember this man for who he was to me along the way: one of the only people I look up to, appreciatively & respectfully, Corey Paul Windt.

I hope the family to knows how much Dr. Foster meant to this community. I had the pleasure of working with him for many years when he gave testimony at involuntary mental commitment hearings. His empathy for the vulnerable population afflicted with mental illness is legendary. He remembered heartbreaking details about the folks he served, and suggested humane treatments without disparagement or judgement. His service to this community was valuable, compassionate and life changing. It was an honor to know him. My sincere condolences.
