A dedicated community member, he was active for many years in voter registration as a member of the Chattooga County Democratic Party.   He was a lifelong member of the Hwy 27 Church of Christ.  It was at the church’s annual Valentine’s Dinner held at Pop’s Country Buffet where he married his beloved wife, Hattie, on February 11, 2005.  His most passionate hobby was racing.  He began drag racing in his youth and continued racing at various drag strips in Tennessee until the last year of his life.  He was preceded in death by a sister, Charlotte Wilson.

 

Survivors include his wife, Hattie Ruth James Foster, mother, Lurlene Adams, children, Melvin Foster Jr, &Michelle Broome, Tracey Hines, Tara Foster, Kipp Foster, Chapitre Marsh, Sheral Marsh, step-children, Allison & Scott Montgomery, Chuck & Mandy Noles, Thomas & Manny Brooks, Timothy & Kenya Brooks, sisters, Lorranie Adams, Theresa & Joseph Thomas, brothers, Ronderal Adams, Renderal  & Leanna Adams, Johnny & Gina Adams, Kenneth & Tammy Adams,
