It was on Foster's grave plaque he was born in December 1937?

Bob Foster's birthdate
Re: Bob Foster's birthdate
Texas birth index says Dec. 15 1938, 1940 census lists him as 1 year old at the time. His obituary says 1938 too:

As unlikely as it seems, it appears the plaque has the wrong year on it.

Re: Bob Foster's birthdate
That's bizarre, but thanks for clearing it up.
Re: Bob Foster's birthdate
very strange, indeed.
Re: Bob Foster's birthdate
Foster told the IBRO he was born in April, 1938. That statement he made and his family not correcting the 1937 date makes no sense.
Re: Bob Foster's birthdate
I want to know who wrote about Bob Foster's birthday that he was born 4 years younger unless someone wants to make Foster fight younger back then.
