How I miss Dr. Foerster !!! He was such a good man... so cheery and funny... brilliant physician and a role model for me when I worked with him and Dr. Greg Baron in the early 2000´s. I know Bob is in a better place and I look forward to being with him again one day as we all celebrate being in Heaven together with Jesus for Eternity!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Foerster while at Colorado Sorings Eye Surgery Center for 15 years, He had an infectious smile, wonderful doctor who truly loved his patients and a great sense of humor, I know how proud he was of his family, as he spoke about them always. May you find comfort and peace in your memories.

Dr. Forester took care of my eyes as his patient, from 1996-2020. He was the most kind and personable doctor I have ever known! He always had time to visit and a smile for all of his patients - no matter how busy he was. His expertise and knowledge was absolutely the best. He always made me feel as if I was the only patient who he had and I never felt like he rushed through my appointments. God Bless this wonderful doctor and his gentle spirit! He will truly be missed by many- including me! My prayers and sympathy go out to all of his family!

A kind and wonderful person ,doctor and family man. He loved his family above all. He loved his profession second. He was awsome to work with for for 45 + years and truly cared about his patients. He had a great sense of humor no matter how busy. He will be missed so very,very much.

I´m so sorry to hear about Bob. He was always so generous and kind, as well as quite humorous at times. All of the employees at Colorado Eye Assiciates admired and respected Dr. Foerster during the time I worked there. He left a wonderful lasting impression on me and Colorado Springs. He will certainly be missed, as I´m sure his dear wife Sue is also dearly missed. May they always be remembered and Rest In Peace.
