Per obituary in Napa Register 5/3/14:
Michael John Foskett filled his 66 years of like with enthusiasm, joy and beauty. He died happy and peaceful with all of his loved ones around him on April 29th after a short illness. He spent his childhood in Hawaii and Napa, graduating from Napa High in 1965. He was proud to be a Marine and served in Vietnam. In 1980, Mike married the love of his life, Barbara. Over the years, they created a life together that included a shared love of family, farming and travel. Most of all, Mike was a people person. Nothing made him happier than sitting at a beautifully arranged table laughing with his family and friends. He never hesitated to tell you he loved you. Mike was an entrepreneur, owning a citrus ranch in Tulare County and starting Californis Citrus specialities. Survived by his wife, Barbara, and children, Mellissa Foskett Taylor, Charles Killian and wife, Michelle, and Sandy Killian, son-in-law Mark Biale; and grandchildren-Adam, Greg, Allison, Ruby and Tilly; his siblings, Chip and Marlene and his beloved dog, Barney.

I am deeply sad to hear of the loss of a wonderful classmate. He always had a wonderful smile and was a pleasure to be around during our high school years. Never saw him after school, but have treasured memories of the wonderul classmates such as Mike who created fond memories of our last year in high school. Glad to read he had a wonderful life and family. My condolences to his family.

We all have friends like Mike..he grew up down the street from my house , we built forts with hay bales in the field and played Army as kids, were in the same cub scout pack and went camping with the group, told ghost stories over the camp fire.. went to elementary school, Jr High and High School together, and when he went into the marines my Dad gave him his WWII Marine emblems to wear on his uniform and for good luck.. never really lost track because when I saw my brother or my parents I always asked 'what are Chip and Mike up to" will miss him

I didnt know Mike that well in school but I have known Chip for sometime now. It sadens me to hear any of my classmates passing. Chip is a great guy and Im sure Mike was also. My sincere respects to the whole family.
