Jeffrey Foote Obituary
Hudson, FL - Jeffrey B. Foote passed away on Wednesday, November 23, 2022 at the age of 74.
Jeffrey was a long-time resident of Bow, NH. He was the son of Morris C. Foote and Louise I. Foote.
Jeffrey is survived by his three children, Victoria Foote Cheney and her husband Jonathan Cheney; Meredith Foote, her partner Daniel Lepage and granddaughter Adelaide Lepage; Benjamin Foote, his partner Courtenay Phillips and her children Graham and Owen; his longtime girlfriend Vicki Cantera; his dog Lily; and many close friends and neighbors from New Hampshire and Hudson, Florida.
Jeffrey loved spending time at his camp on Lake Winnipesaukee, always closely followed by his loyal dog, Lily. Jeffrey was a DeMolay while in high school and later a Mason. He received an associate's degree in broadcasting from the Wentworth institute in Boston and later owned Foote's re-Tire-ment Center in Concord. Jeffrey was deeply involved with the Bow Rotary, was a Bow Selectman, and was on the Board of Directors at Bow Mills Bank, and the Harilla Yacht Club. During the Vietnam War, he served in the United States Navy as a submariner. He often spoke about his time on the USS Kamehameha. Jeffrey loved tinkering with his many projects, be it working on his boat, a car, or building things, he was constantly keeping busy. Jeffrey loved entertaining his friends and family. He was a collector of boats and if anyone ever needed to borrow anything, Jeffrey probably had three. He highly valued his work, honesty, and was a tried and true friend to many.

Sincere condolences not only to the Foote family but also to all of Jeff´s friends, not only in New Hampshire but also in Florida.
As a member of the Foote family, I spent many early holidays and reunions with Jeff in Bow. As a CHS `66 classmate, our monthly reunion dinners made it possible to catch up with each other, when not in Florida.
Too many of us lose touch with our friends and relatives as we move away. Jeff will be missed but remembered despite moving to Florida or living on an island on Lake Winnipesaukee.

Sincerest condolences to the Foote family. I too was a CHS '66 classmate of Jeff's. I and others from the '66 class got to see him every month at our monthly dinner meetings in Concord until health issues kept him from attending. We all will miss his humor and his story telling which was second to none! R.I.P. Jeff...

Deepest sympathies to your family. Was blessed to know you and go on so many adventures as a CHS class of 1966 friend. Fun Memories. Will always see your wonderful smile. I remember Jeff getting the 58 Chevrolet, an automatic! His dad told him not to hack it up! Couple of days later we were in his garage on Logging Hill Rd, you guessed it, hacking up the console to put in a stick shift! So many memories, just the best a person could be.

We worked together for a short time on the water; we each learned somethings from the other.
Bow boys have certain qualities that exemplify good ethics in the many things they do and Jeff was all of that. Fair winds and following seas to you brother.

My deepest condolences to the Foote family, though I haven´t seen Jeff in what seems like ages now I can´t help but reflect back to the late 70´s when he operated Footes re-tirement center at the triangle on south state and south main streets where my family bought all of our tires. I might also also add that Jeff was also a trend setter of sorts, you see he always wore a well groomed seaman´s beard for years and long before they were considered cool and was the inspiration for me growing mine that I´ve had for close to 45 years now...lol...Rest in peace Buddy!

My deepest sympathy to the entire Jeff Foote Family. I am a CHS '66 classmate of Jeff. We worked on several class reunions together. He was always so much fun to work with...always a smile on his face!. In May of '69, my then husband, (also Class of '66, Bill Edney) ran into Jeff on the streets of Honolulu. We were there on R&R, and Jeff was stationed there. We heard our names being shouted out, and lo and behold, there was Jeff riding by in a convertible with some Navy buddies. We were able to meet for dinner one of the nights we were there. To this day, I have never forgotten that chance meeting. RIP, Jeff Foote. Fondly,
Elizabeth (Libby) Hayes Jennings

Dear Vickie, Meredith and Ben,
Know that Frank and I want to send to you our love and and prayers. We have some special memories of times when we were not only neighbors of your Dad and Mom but friends of your Dad and Mom.
If your Dad couldn't dream of some crazy thing to do, Frank would pick up the slack and come through.
Between your Dad's backhoe and Frank's bulldozer they found themselves in more than one pickle.
Our only regret is that we were transferred to PA and never had the opportunity to get to see the 3 of you grow into adults.
God Bless you all,
Frank and Charlyn

My sympathy goes out to Jeff's children and Vickie. I have many memories of events in our lives as children spending countless hours with our families. My brother, Gerry, was one of Jeff's best friends and they enjoyed getting into lots of trouble together as children. Later in life as adults, my husband, Joe Alosa, and Jeff enjoyed a business relationship for years. I'm sure you all have lots of wonderful memories to keep him alive in your hearts and he and Gerry are together again planning their next adventure. Love, Carol

Julie and I never would have felt ready to say good-bye to Jeff, a true friend, we had some great and occasional "wild times"in our youth, memories that will last. This timing feels especially tough during the holidays. We wish Vicki and the entire Foote family comfort and strength for the days and weeks ahead; we will be praying for all of you
