Dear Kris and Family "Our heartfelt condolences go out to the entire Foltz Family" He was such a great guy and fun to be around. It was great working with him at DuPont and grateful that we got to spend time at "The Resort at Cedar Shores" because it was the best place to vacation for many years. We will truly miss Tunis and we pray that God will wrap his loving arms of peace and comfort around each and everyone one of you. You will constantly be in our prayers. May his laughter, love and his ornery ways be always first and foremost in your many wonderful memories. Peace, Love & God Bless, Fran Deeney & Hope Tarr

The McKee family will certainly miss Tunis. He was a wonderful addition to our Cedar Shores community. We have very fond memories of the wonderful July 4th Pig Roasts with Tunis at the helm. Prayers from all us to Kris and family.

Memories of Tunis go back to grade school at West Park Place - yes, that long ago. And of course, on up through Jr and Sr High in Newark....and then memories of the HS Reunions over the years. In reading the obit, I could see that Tunis lived a good and full life, and I feel blessed to know that - brought a smile to my face. So Dear Foltz family, my condolences to you for your loss at this time. How blessed you are to know, that it is for just a season. Sending Love, Constance Crissman - NHS class of '62

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Kris and the family. We always enjoyed spending time with Tunis at Cedar Shores. We will miss hearing about his trips and the grandkids. He was very generous with his time, serving on the council numerous times and roasting the pig for our 4th of July picnics. He and Kris were the best condo neighbors ever. We will miss you Tunis!
