James Foote Obituary
Concord, NH - James R. Foote of East Concord, NH, passed away peacefully, at home, on Dec 13, 2022.
Mr. Foote was born in Concord, NH, on November 5, 1944, to Warren and Mercedes (Pedeare) Foote. He worked for Ferns Oil Company for over 30 years as a truck driver and a mechanic. He thoroughly enjoyed growing vegetables and planted a garden every year. The rows were always perfectly straight, with never a weed to be found. His other favorite pastimes included fishing - especially at the Meredith Ice Fishing Derby on Lake Winnipesaukee - deer hunting and visiting Turtle Town Pond near his home, to see the various activities people were engaged in and "shoot the breeze" with them. He could always be seen driving around in his 1995 green-and-gold Chevy pick-up truck with his dog Sam - and later Yogi - sitting up in the passenger seat.
He is predeceased by his parents Warren and Mercedes (Pedeare) Foote; brothers Wesley Foote, Warner Pedeare, Nelson Foote and Donald Foote; and a sister Barbara (Foote) Cox.
He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Mary Jane (Ferns) Foote; sister-in-law Alice Foote; son and daughter-in-law Jeffrey and Cindy Foote; grandchildren Meridith, Hannah and John Foote; nieces, nephews and cousins; and friends and neighbors who have been there for him over the years.
There will be no funeral services. The Cremation Society of New Hampshire will be responsible for final arrangements.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Pope Memorial SPCA, 94 Silk Farm Road, Concord, NH, in memory of James R. Foote.

Jim was one of my closest friends for about 30 years. He was a founding member of the Turtle Pond parking lot men's club(Me, Jim, Bob Locke,Dennis Frost). I usually stopped there every night on my way home from work and about 5 o'clock on the dot that big two-tone Chevy would pull in. There were some colorful conversations there that's for sure!. I called Jim the Mayor of East Concord and Bob Locke was the Sheriff of East Concord. Jim was a standup go to guy. He helped me move once with his truck and was insulted when I offered to pay him and absolutely refused, wouldn't even take gas money. I will always have wonderful memories of my friendship with him and Mary Jane. God bless you Big Jim, and my condolences to the family.
