| Description | Richard Foster, who represented Nome in the state House for 21 years, died of a heart attack Tuesday in Seattle while undergoing dialysis for kidney problems, friends in the Legislature said.
"I loved Richard Foster," a somber state House Speaker Mike Chenault said on Tuesday night. "He was a great asset for Nome and for rural Alaska. I think they've probably lost a gem in Richard.
"He was not a lot of talk but when he talked, people listened."
Foster, 63, was ailing badly, and had been in and out of the hospital. He had filed to run for re-election next year and his death was not considered imminent. |
