I am the Wife of Richard Derryl Foster, mine and my girls life have been a living HELL since the wreck. I don’t call it an accident, Dewayne Faulkner made a STUPID and CARELESS decission to PASS, on a HILL KNOWING he could not see. He was NOT thinking about his family let along OURS. Just thought everyone should know that he has a driving record almost TWO pages LONG of careless driving, unlawfull speed & speeding in posted zones!!! He kept haviing his court date pushed back almost a year since he killed my HUSBAND, and ALL HE GOT FOR KILLING MY HUSBAND AND MY GIRLS DADDY WAS A 1000.00 FINE AND LOST HIS LICENSE FOR 6MTHS… He has done nothing but try to hurt me and my girls since the wreck, just to try to make himself look like the VICTOM. My husband had a perfect driving record, where is the JUSTICE in this??? There was NONE AT ALL. Me and my husband were HIGH SCHOOL SWEET HEARTS, married for 20 wonderful years, together for 27, he was my soul mate and the BEST DAD EVER. We have to go on because we have NO choice and some people say that Dewayne has to live with what he done too, Well I HOPE HE DOES, I PRAY HE SEES MY DERRYLS FACE EVERY NIGHT BEFORE HE GOES TO SLEEP…. He will never KNOW the HELL HE has put US thru.

no “Pray for all” I’m sure he didn’t think he was going to kill his freind. It sounds like he wasn’t thinking at all, he was too worried about getting to wherever he was getting to care about anything.

I was on scene right after the accident, and said a quick prayer for everyone involved as I was detouring. How many of you actually saw the pickup setting by the gravel trailer? I did. It was a very tragic accident. My thoughts and prayers still go out to everyone involved. But remember, he who is without sin himself should cast the first stone. We are not God and should not judge. Everyone involved has families and the families deserve our respect no matter what our personal feelings as this was an ACCIDENT.

COME ON people do you think that this man thought that he was going to kill his friend and neighbor when he did this. I could see how up set this man was on T.V. I understand that the neighborhood where these men live are very good to each other. I do not see any bad comments from them. Let these familys get thru this. It is a little bit different when you get in a car drink and drive. I know my child was hit by a drunk repeat DUI man 15 years ago. He knew what he was doing He had no insurance or licences at the time. The state trooper was wonderful.

These are two families that have been long time friends and neighbors. These men’s wives were raised within a stones throw of each other. The tragic event that happened on Saturday will not change that. They will lean on each others strength during this time and will all come out of this with a renewed love for their family and friends. These are two families that are changed forever and that is that. Though deeply hurt and distraught I do not feel the families will turn on each other as it appears some on this site would like. This is a small community and they know all to well the affects of tragic events on young families and once again after many tears and much hurt will come out the other side of this an even more amazing group of people with their unwavering faith and a new love for both their friends and families. Let’s all be there when they need us and support an amazing community and these two families during their healing process.

Well said Just looking at Reality, people need to be responsible for their actions. I also went to school with Foster’s daughters and I can’t imagine the horrible pain that they must be going through at this time. Where was the other driver in such a hurry to that he just had to pass to cars on a hill in a no passing zone. He should have been arrested right then. Pending charges is bull.

This is a repeated habit these days with people passing illegally. Something has to be done and they need to be accountable for these judgments. They may not purposely intended to harm or kill someone but they didn’t take concern for others when the choice was made. My prayers honour to the family.

to tyanne: in regards to your post: …’ My heart also goes out to the “friend&neighbor” who caused the wreck,because he will have to live w/this the rest of his life..so I don’t think torment by others is necissary. His life is as well changed forever….’
My heart and my concerns are with the people who HE was responsible for changing their lives forever. He was the cause of the wreck through nothing but careless driving and a lack of concern for himself and everyone else that was on the road around him. TORMENT BY OTHERS?????- how about holding individuals responsible for their actions? When did that go out of style? My father-in-law drives the roads in that area day in and day out, it is what puts food on his table and clothing on the family members he supports. He has a spotless driving record and now he is having to deal with the emotional impact of what some thoughtless, careless, reckless individual brought into his life. The only part of your post I agree with is the fact that the man who caused the accident will have his life changed forever… but bragging that he is alive to still enjoy his life and possibly see changes seems to be in poor taste. He was the one who took the life of another person and it is my hope that he is held accountable. If the others are well advised he might be held accountable and pay restitution as well. So if you are PUTTING THINGS IN GODS HANDS- instead of asking for divine intervention to aid an irresponsible individual I think your prayers would be better spent with the victims of this individuals thoughtless deeds- the victims are the ones who need all the help they can get right now- definitely not the perpetrator who caused all of the pain and agony!
I was just dumbfounded as to how this man wasn’t arrested at the time and on the scene- WOW- you kill someone with your vehicle and you don’t even go to jail in Escambia County?- now what’s wrong with that picture? Faulkner was clearly at fault- why wasn’t he arrested on the scene? That is just craziness- glad I don’t have to drive the streets there, how frightening is it to know someone is capable of using their car as a killing machine and is still walking free-
