Aunt Betty, Peggy, Bobby & Timmy,
We will miss Uncle Bobby a great deal but the memories will last in our hearts. It meant so much to see all of you, I just wish it wasn't under those circumstances. He was a huge part of our small family and a great influence in my life. I am grateful for my photo albums that continue to tell stories of our summer picnics at the parkway, the trips to camp in Lake George, the many visits to Pine Bush with Gram and my endless hours of remodeling Peggy's dollhouse. It always seemed like our visits were never long enough but they all made a lasting impression on me. I'm here if you need anything. My love to all of you.

While I am saddened by the passing of Mr. Foote, I am lifted by the fond memories of spending almost half my growing-up days at his house. I was always welcomed there. A particularly wonderful memory with Mr. Foote is that of watching Red Sox games together. My condolences to you, Mrs. Foote, Peggy, Bob and Tim.

I have so many fond memories of time spent with the Foote family, summer nights at Riverside, 4th of July celebrations with sparklers on the front lawn, Trick and Treating in town. "Uncle" Bob pointed me in the right direction for college when I was overwhelmed with the decision. I love you all and hold dear my memories of Uncle Bob.

To the entire Foote Family - Bob was a well respected man for the 50+ years that we knew him. Growing up in PB (Class of 1968) and having him as a coach, guidance counselor & then as a football official we knew him very well for a long time. He will be missed. Our hearts go out to all of you.

Dear Bobby & family,
I have very fond memories of your dad...especially Little League memories and unending Cokes at Herman's while our dads talked baseball & baseball rules. I hope your memories and the faith he worked to instill in you ease your sense of loss at this time and warm your hearts.
