~ Long Beach Mourns the Loss of Former Mayor Robert "Bob" Foster
The City of Long Beach is in mourning as it shares the news of the passing of former Mayor Robert "Bob" Foster on the evening of November 30, 2025. At the age of 78, Mayor Foster's death has left a deep void in the hearts of many who knew and worked with him. He served two terms as mayor from 2006 to 2014 and made a lasting impact on the Long Beach community during some of its most challenging periods.
Mayor Foster brought decades of leadership experience to Long Beach, having previously served as President at Southern California Edison before entering public office. His tenure as mayor was marked by his unwavering commitment to serving the community and his ability to navigate through difficult times with grace and determination.
During his time in office, Mayor Foster led Long Beach through one of its worst economic downturns since the Great Depression. He also played a crucial role in addressing rapidly rising pension costs, demonstrating his dedication to fiscal responsibility and pension reform. As a result, he was able to stabilize the city's financial landscape and even achieve a budget surplus for the first time in ten years.

Current Mayor Rex Richardson expressed his condolences on behalf of the entire city, stating that "Mayor Bob Foster served Long Beach with steady leadership and a deep love for our community." He praised Mayor Foster for guiding the city through challenging times with honesty, courage, and a clear sense of responsibility.
Mayor Foster was known for his sharp wit, authenticity, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life. He treated world leaders, employees, and residents alike with genuine interest and care. Above all else, he cherished his family - including his wife Nancy - and was deeply devoted to the community he served.
City Manager Tom Modica also paid tribute to Mayor Foster, calling him a "modern-day Cincinnatus." He commended Mayor Foster for his unwavering dedication to public service and his willingness to do what was right, even if it was unpopular. Modica also highlighted Mayor Foster's generosity and sense of humor, which made him a beloved figure in the community.
