The Charlotte community lost a wonderful photojournalist, and an even better person this week. Carolina Panthers Charlotte Hornets charlotteobserver.com/news/local/art…

His pictures brought our games to life for years, but his loss can’t be captured by 1,000 words. David Foster will be missed greatly.

I didn’t get to work often with David, but I remember how much of a joy it was to work with him on one of the more hopeful stories I got to cover — the first day kindergartners came back to CMS in person. David captured those moments so beautifully, and he’ll be so dearly missed.

While fishing in Alaska, a guy on our boat is talking about how he went to bama Alaskan fishing guide: “Now, is that the red tide?” That’s it. I’m moving here.

Walked into the Bank of America Stadium press box and found this tribute to two The Charlotte Observer colleagues we miss so much, David T. Foster III and Rick Bonnell. Thank you, Carolina Panthers.
