Tom Foster, who passed away at the age of 80  in August of 2021, was a fixture with Tryon Hounds. He was our social greeter at the bar, always with a smile and easy conversation. Whether at the Tryon Hounds clubhouse, a member’s home, or any other special function, you could count on Tom to hand you your beverage of choice along with a pleasant word.

Tom was a devoted husband to Elizabeth (Liz) Foster and father to two daughters, Tina, and Tammy. He engaged in the Tryon community and volunteered for many years as a coach to Tryon High School boys’ basketball team, track and field team, and Little League team. Tom was a gifted athlete and was an incredible runner – a picture to see as he ran down the roads!

Tryon Hounds is dedicating the clubhouse bar in memory of Tom Foster with a plaque and photo. Tom will continue to be a Tryon Hounds fixture at the clubhouse bar as we remember and honor him with every social event held there.
