Wayne Foster
SAN DIEGO, CA — Blindness, Musical Talent, Unwavering Optimism and a Heart full of Love
Wayne Foster, 88, of San Diego, California, graduated peacefully to that great Big Band in Heaven, on Sunday, February 19, 2023, prompting an outpouring of love from the family of musicians he and Marin
May 29, 1934 - February 19, 2023 connected, his clients turned friends, and the many lives touched through his music and love.
In 1951, Wayne met his precious wife, Marin while performing at a fundraiser for Cerebral Palsy with his band in New York. They have been sweethearts, holding hands, living a magical, musical love
story ever since that day.
Wayne and Marin went on to have four children, Susan Foster Nussbaum, Jacqueline Foster (Hedi), Nancy Wiesner (Bernardo) and their youngest daughter Bonnie Foster Pollak, seven grandchildren, Benjamin Nussbaum (Chloe), Joshua Nussbaum, Gabriel Nussbaum (Of blessed memory), Zach Nussbaum (Haven), Izzy Pollak, Sami Pollak, Jason Wiesner (Jackie) and seven greatgrandchildren, Noah, Benson, Charlie, Mckenna, Leo, Lennon, Joshua.
Blind since birth, Wayne, with Marin at his side, was a talented musician and band leader, passionate about creating memories to last a lifetime through his upbeat, positive music. Please keep Marin in your prayers and continue with unsolicited and unexpected acts of kindness, as Wayne did his entire life.
