POLSON — Boyd Clyde Foster, age 86, passed away of natural causes on May 27, 2023, at his summer home in Polson. He spent winters in Georgetown, Texas, near Austin, and made that home his permanent residence in his later years. Boyd was born April 2, 1937, in Teigan, Montana, to William and Beatrice (Schultz) Foster.
Boyd earned his BS in Business/Commercial Science from Montana State University and a MS in Economics from Montana State University. Boyd started his own financial advisory and tax accounting firm in Great Falls in 1965 and expanded the firm to Billings and Helena.
Boyd married Peggy Jean Bell and they were married for 58 years.
Boyd was a member of Rotary Club of Polson, an avid golfer, animal lover, landscaper, and wood worker.
Boyd was preceded in death by his brothers, Bob Foster and John Foster both of Reno, Nevada.
Boyd is survived by his wife, Peggy Foster of Georgetown, Texas; sons, Bryan Foster of South Burlington, Vermont, and Paul Foster of Austin, Texas; and grandson, Amos Foster of South Burlington, Vermont.
Boyd was a strong force. He was frugal and modest, but he had a powerful work ethic and was successful in business. He enjoyed the company of his family and friends, played golf most of his adult life and loved the view of Flathead Lake and the Mission Mountains. His absence will be profoundly felt by those who loved him. His frugality and passion for excellence in all his endeavors will live on through his family.
