Upon formation, he chaired the 911 Board. Howard was instrumental in uniting Harris Methodist, St. Josephs, Hugley, and Arlington Memorial hospitals and forming Community Hospice of Texas.

In May of 2000, Howard was named 1999 Volunteer of the Year, City of Fort Worth. Howard was a Rotarian for many years, and was a member of the Ten Spokes Investment Club. In more recent years, the McMahans became active members of the Friendship Force of Fort Worth, traveling to many interesting countries and hosting members from other countries. Howard's greatest achievements, pride and joy, however, were his marriage of 62 years to his wife Myrtle, and his family: 3 children and their spouses, 9 grandchildren and their spouses and 9 greatgrandchildren. The family would like to thank James L. West Alzheimer Center for caring for Howard the past three years and Community Hospice of Texas for assisting in his care these past few months. in lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials go to Westside UU Church, Community Hospice of Texas, James L.

| 8159 |  | Obituary- McMillin, Virginia Adam Paul Foster, 51, of Rossville, Kansas, died in a tragic accident on Wednesday, February 5th, 2025 near Delia, KS. Adam was born June 14th, 1973, in Topeka, Kansas, the son of David J. and Virginia Rezac Foster. Adam graduated from Rossville High School in 1991 and went on to Kansas State University to take Ag classes pertaining to farming and ranching. Adam married Laci Dick Foster on August 27th, 2005. She, along with their three children, Kerrigan, Ryder, & Bodie, all survive at their home. He is also survived by his mother, Virginia, and a brother, Andrew, and his family, all of Rossville. He was preceded in death by his father, David John Foster. During Adam's youth, he became very talented in an array of things. He learned to play the violin and performed in the Topeka Youth Symphony and could play a variety of music including the Orange Blossom Special. One of the many things he was proud of was his perfect attendance at Sunday school. Every winter with the United Methodist Church he would go skiing and became a very good snow skier. After leaving KSU Adam went on to work at the Keystone Ski Resort for a short time frame. He loved taking his kids skiing and teaching them on the slopes. He also worked at Autosound in Topeka, installing car stereo systems and he enjoyed painting and restoring his 1972 Chevy Blazer. He had a passion for motocross racing, where he would later enjoy teaching his kids how to ride. Adam had a love for the farm and anything to do with it. He spent countless hours checking irrigation, managing his row crops and putting up hay with help from his kids and friends. It was never out of the ordinary to see Adam with at least one if not all three of the family dogs in tow. He would always take them along for daily drives around the countryside. Adam was good at welding, fabricating and turning wrenches. This made him very resourceful, and he was able to look at anything that was broken and find a way to fix it using material he had around the farm. Adam had a love for music, he would drive around with Kerrigan listening to music and give her advice about life. Adam enjoyed spending time in the outdoors and you would often find him hunting, fishing and teaching his boys, Ryder and Bodie about farming and ranching. Adam was a hard worker and he instilled that same hard work ethic into his kids. Regardless of the countless hours he spent working, he would still find time to attend all of his kids' activities. As with many farming communities, Adam was always available to assist others when needed. He had a lot of friends and he prided himself by having the very "best of friends." Those friends were always there when he needed a hand or just someone to talk to. These cherished friends meant a lot to him and he was deeply appreciative for them. In his free time he enjoyed riding his side by side with those same friends and neighbors. He was also extremely proud that he held the status at Topeka PowerSports for having a Honda Pioneer with the highest mileage, and yet still being used daily on the farm. A Celebration of Adam’s Life will take place on Friday, March 21st at 1pm at the Delia Grade School Gym in Delia, KS. Memorials may be made to the Foster Children Education Fund and sent in care of Piper Funeral Home, 714 Maple St., St. Marys, KS 66536. | |
