Anthony Foster died on Friday evening with his wife Chrissie by his side after suffering a stroke.
He died in a Melbourne hospital, aged 64, dedicated his life to seeking justice for victims of child sex abuse at the hands of the Catholic Church after two of his daughters were repeatedly raped by a priest,
In a two decade-long quest to hold the Catholic Church accountable for crimes against children, Mr Foster and his wife Chrissie told the harrowing story of their family's treatment at the hands of the church to the media and the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
"...nearly 40 years before Anthony's girls went to that school, the church knew that Father Kevin O'Donnell was a danger to children.
Anthony and Chrissie Foster have been the most careful and loving parents ... they walked their children to and from school and they had absolutely no way of imagining that they greatest risk to their girls was installed in the presbytery next to their primary school."

Stop 'dwelling crankily' on sex abuse case: bishop
The co-ordinator of World Youth Day, Bishop Anthony Fisher, today responded to a question about Cardinal George Pell's handling of a sexual abuse case by saying people are "dwelling crankily ... on old wounds".
And this afternoon Cardinal Pell did not respond to reporters' questions about Bishop Fisher's remarks.
