KANSAS CITY, MO
Charlie Foraker was born February 24, 1914, in Stockton, MO to Charles E. and Edith M. (Shipman) Foraker.
He began his lifelong education career by teaching in a rural Missouri school. After teaching at the Wellston School District in St. Louis, MO and the Jefferson City, MO Public School District he accepted the position of Director of Buildings and Grounds in the Center School District, Kansas City, MO, where he remained until his retirement in 1976.
Blessed with a loving, creative and skillful mind, he never tired of helping others.
His students at Wellston High School remember his passion for teaching safe workshop practices, drafting, and remember him as a good roll model. His humor, and quick wit helped him motivate many of his students that were difficult to reach. Charlie went the distance to help "his kids" appreciate school and extra curricular activities.
Charles W. Foraker , 85, passed away April 15, 1999.
Mr. Foraker was one of my mentors, I feel privileged to have known him.
