We will never get over losing Josephine and Francis Fote. They were a significant part of our lives here in Arizona. You feel if you love someone enough you won't be separated, but God has other ideas...We'll never be the same.

Condolences to the Fote family. This kind man delivered both my children, as a matter of fact, my son shares his first and middle name. God rest your soul, my dear doctor, as you rest in the arms of the Lord.

Although I never knew Dr. Fote personally, we met in September of 1972 when he delivered me. Thank you Dr. Fote for being there for my mother and me! My condolences to the Fote family, may you find comfort in the memories you have of him.

My Deepest Sympathy to the Fote Family,
Western New Yorkers lost a great doctor when he moved away. The world lost a great man when he past away.
Due to a undetected complication after
the delivery of my son, I became deathly ill. If not for this man I would not be alive today.
Dr Fote was a very humble man. His appreciation of life and tremendous love for his family will live forever in the memories of all that knew him.

Dr. Fote saved my life - he interceded when he had to - He delivered six of my nephews and nieces and we all loved the man. He was gentle and direct at the same time. I have always thought so much of him and was happy to have been a patient....... Madeline Hall Brocki

To all the Children of Dr Fote ad Mrs Fote This is your Baybysitter Mary Ann. I watched all of you from small children. I hope you all remember me. Your Mother and father were the Greatest people I eve knew. Your Father was my OBG-YN doctor who I respected and always made me feel like family. When I as pregnat with my first childrenI would go to my visit and your Dad would say what are you doing tonight Mary Ann and I would say nothing and then he would say can you babysit tonight? Of coarse I would say yes and my husband and I would come to babysit all of you. If I remember Mary was5 years old. When your Dad and Mom moved to Arizona I would call them on Holidays to see how they were. I loved all you kids with all my heart I am sadde that they are both gone now. I was the babysitter that put regular soap in the dishwasher and all bubbles were coming out an I was so afraid to tell them and I did and hey both told stories about it. Please contact me 716-861-1262. May God Bless all of you and remember all those special memories of both you Dad & Mom. They always made me feel special. I will never forgot all of you. You all hold a special place in my heart.I lived on Bayberry Ave.
Love Always ,Mary Ann Helm

Dear Dr. Fote's family,
He was the one who taught me that a baby is a "miracle" and I never forgot that. He was a wonderful man and so kind and he would make me laugh. I had my first & second & third child while under his care and went on to have five more in years to come. I have always wondered how he was and who was getting his wonderful care year later. Rest in peace Dr. Fote, you made your angel wings.

I remember Francis when I was growing up in North Olean. I did not know Francis as personally as others because of our age difference but I knew all of his family. I'm sure his loss will come at a great emotional loss to all of his family and I extended my deepest sympathy to all of them.

Dr. Fote was a very kind and caring Dr. He cared for me when I lived in Buffalo, NY. If not for him, I would be childless. I will never forget his kindness.

Dr. Fote was a doctor I saw as a young teen (my aunt Bev worked for him). He was very kind and will be missed. God bless his remaining family members.

Francis was a lifelong friend and a great guy. He was a well-respected physician and I know he did a lot of medical charity work. We spent some time on the "park bench" and had many good times when we were young. We both loved to play poker in our younger days. My sympathy goes out to the family. Richard and Billy, Gloria and Olga, I am thinking of all of you, and the children. Carl Veno ("Trigger") and wife Linda Veno.
