Alger Lynn Foster, Jr., better known as Bugs, left us on May 5, 2021, at Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital with his family by his side.

Bugs was born on October 19, 1959 in Cincinnati, Oh to Alger Lynn Foster Sr. and Patricia Thompson Foster.  Bugs met and married the love of his life, Tammy Smith Foster, on May 2, 1981 in Covington, KY.  During their 40 years of marriage, they relocated to Somerset and was blessed with four kids, eight grandchildren and one great grandchild.

Bugs loved playing musical instruments in his free time.  He was very talented in playing almost any instrument he picked up.  He also enjoyed watching Westerns, playing with his grandkids, and collecting guns and guitars.  Bugs was well known for his pig headed stubborn nature, and loved to aggravate and display his fun sense of humor.  Bugs loved his kids and grandkids dearly, and enjoyed having them in his presence.  He was a dedicated family man.
