Born June 12, 1931 in Spry, he was a son of the late Paul E. and Ada V. (Slenker) Foust.

Gene loved God and cherished spending time with family and friends.

They graduated together in 1957, both with accounting degrees. Gene retired from Teledyne McKay in 1993. Gene was a lifelong member of Spry Church where he answered the call to serve as a teacher, treasurer, trustee, and building committee member.

In addition to his wife, Gene is survived by his three children, P. Eric Foust and his wife, Terri, of York; Melissa A. Bean and her husband, John, of York; and Suzanne L.
