BATON ROUGE, LA – Attorney General Jeff Landry issued the
following statement upon the death of former Louisiana Governor Murphy James
“Mike” Foster:
“It is with great sadness that I express my condolences to
Mrs. Alice, Murphy, and Ramelle. Governor Foster was a wonderful family man,
dedicated public servant, and loyal friend. Mike valiantly served our Nation in
the Air Force and honorably led our State as a Senator and as the Governor.
While Governor Foster may be remembered by most as a conservative manager who
steered Louisiana into a prosperous period, I will always cherish Mike as a
trusted confidant whose guidance was invaluable. His honorable legacy will live
forever; and I hope the citizens of Louisiana will join Sharon and me in prayer
for the entire Foster family.”
