Charles Robert Foster II

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Charles “Chip” Robert Foster II, 66, lost his hard fought cancer battle on July 27, 2025, in Jacksonville, Florida. Born on Feb. 6, 1959, in Augusta. He grew up in Wayne. He was the beloved son of the late Charles “Bob” Foster and Maryland Reynolds Foster.

Chip’s adventurous spirit was ignited at the tender age of five when he began learning to fly, sitting on his father’s lap. This early exposure to the thrill of flight led to a distinguished career as an Alaskan bush pilot, many hours flying in Maine. His entrepreneurial spirit and love for his home state led him to own and operate numerous businesses around Moosehead Lake. His last years were spent on and around Sebago lake where he found time to restore beautiful boats, and met amazing new friends.

Beyond his professional achievements, Chip was an accomplished fly fisherman who reveled in the pure joy of being amidst the woods and on the serene lakes, and streams of Maine. His love for the outdoors was only surpassed by his love for his family and friends.

Chip was a man of kindness, humor, and generosity, traits that endeared him to many and ensured he made friends wherever he went. His presence was a gift, and his memory a treasure. He was a beacon of light and laughter, and his spirit will continue to inspire those who were fortunate to have known him.

He was preceded in death by his father, Charles Foster, and mother, Maryland Reynolds Foster. His legacy continues through his wife Sara Foster Pollard, sisters, Sharon and her husband Charley, Mary and her husband Ted, his sons, Rob and Kailin Foster, and his cousins, Cedric and Bion Reynolds. The love and admiration they had for Chip are a testimony to the exceptional man he was.

In keeping with Chip’s wishes, a celebration of life will be held at the Pollard residence, 564 Quaker Ridge Road, Casco, on Saturday, Sept. 27, at 10:30 a.m. Chip desired a gathering of all his loved ones to commemorate his life. All those whose lives were touched by Chip are welcomed to join in celebrating the remarkable man he was. He was a man who loved deeply, embraced life fully, and will be missed profoundly.

In the words of Chip, “Life is a journey to be experienced, not a problem to be solved.” His life serves as a reminder to us all to embrace our adventures, cherish our loved ones, and live our lives with laughter and love.

As we bid farewell to Chip, we celebrate a life well-lived and remember a man well-loved. May his soul find its way home on the wings of the Moosehead winds he so loved to navigate.
