Foster was named for NOEL J. FOSTER, who paid the ultimate price in the attack on America September 11, 2001. Noel Foster, age 40, Bridgewater, New Jersey, vice president and producing broker of Aon Corp., he worked in World Trade Center Tower Two on the 99th floor. Survivors reported that Mr. Foster lagged behind to help a colleague with a broken leg down the Trade Center steps. He was last seen helping the colleague on the 40th floor. Mr. Foster earned a Bachelor's degree from Moravian College. Having just celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary, Mr. Foster was a family man. He also liked horseback riding, swimming, and tennis. He was a lot of fun and was continually working on projects. He liked red cars and had blue eyes. He is survived by his wife, Nancy; and children, Megan, 8; and Nicole, age 5 at the time of their father's death. We salute Mr. Foster, a hero, and name this handsome dog in his honor.
