Memories and Condolences
for Edward Foote

Loved him dearly as I tracked his career as a Trib reporter. A great friend, a true gentleman, and a skilled lawyer with the eternal pipe notwithstanding. Many stories. One, he appears before Judge Marshall in a headline case and before jury selection, Judge Marshall says "a long trial Mr. Ed, you better get your suit cleaned and pressed." As u may know, Ed was bound to that suit--a lucky omen I can only believe. A lucky omen he did not need.

To the Family: Life is like a mist. Its here today and gone tomorrow. The joyful memories left behind are yours to cherish. Continue to stay close and pray for each other to give comfort, along with heartfelt prayers and loving support from friends to give your hearts enough room to cope with your loss. (Psalms 119:32)

Ed was instrumental in training me for a successful career as an "expert witness". His training was intense, to say the least, but much appreciated. I am forever grateful for having the opportunity to work with him on several occasions and will miss him.

Ed was a true gentleman from the first time I met him in the 70's. I was a court reporter in the U.S. District Court in Chicago and worked with his longtime close friend, Judge Prentice Marshall. I had the pleasure of working with him over the next several decades, met his wife Helen and Elizabeth along the way, and he always had a nice engaging way about him whenever and wherever we met. It was always interesting to see him at work in a courtroom working with juries and always respectful to everyone. He's at the top of my list of special people that I became acquainted with over the many years I spent in the courthouse.
My deepest sympathies to the entire Foote family. Richard H. Dagdigian

Could sit and listen to his stories anytime! Great mentor! His life partner was always by his side! They raised wonderful children and grandchildren! My sincere condolences! ❤

It is impossible for me to think of my childhood without remembering this wonderful man. He profoundly affected my life with his kindness, generosity, humor and sense of justice (sometimes called upon in our childhood squabbles ). I was a childhood friend of his daughter Liz and had the great fortune of spending many hours in his warm company. Having lost my own father at an early age, Mr. Foote provided me with a model of a husband and father that I would later look for and find.
I send my love to all the Foote family, especially Liz("pet" as I remember he often called her).

I learned more in one federal trial against Ed Foote than I could ever learn at any law school in America. May God bless this great trial lawyer and his family at this time of loss and sorrow but may they also celebrate his love, sense of humor and teachings.
