To the Foote Family: I was saddened by Bob's passing, but I know Bob would want us to smile and laugh when remembering him. I knew that Bob had made the decision to never "drink" again before I met him, but I was never very sure how long ago that occurred. Based on my personal experience, I hope everyone in the family respects how important that decision was for the success and happiness of your family. My father never made that commitment and it led to a lot of stress and unhappiness. I had the opportunity to visit with Bob many times. It was always eventful. One of the conversations that I remember that caused both of us to laugh occurred during the worst of the COVID and the problems in the cattle market. Bob made the comment in jest " I don't know why we do this (feed cattle) but I suppose it is because we don't play golf. We have to do something. It just caught me funny and we had a good laugh. But I believe it reflected many things about Bob. We all need to be doing something and that drove him to always move forward with an optimistic view. God bless the Foote family!! Darrell Holaday

I got to know Bob and Gail in about 1986-1990. They were customers at the Bank I worked. I became a fan of the Foote family right away. Greg, was just a toddler but was always at Gail's side. They were always so good to work with and always forthright with everything they did! Bob was driven and at that time, growing quite fast! Just quality people, that anyone would want as a customer. Then as they say "It is a small world" , Bob's sister worked with my wife at a Hallmark store? Bob pastured cattle with my cousin in the Flint Hills, it just seemed like everytime I turned around there was a connection to Bob Foote. Just a fine, fine man! I am so proud to have been a small piece of the success he became, and to have been an acquaintance of his in his earlier life. I am sorry for your loss, but am so thankful, that he is now with Colleen, and is spending time that I know he sadly missed. May God Bless Gail and all of you on your loss! Tom Davies.

Specifically remember a time when Jim and I were tasked by Bob to move 100-lb tractor weights across the shop during teenage years. Bob left us to our task for a while and returned disappointed in the progress. Evidently carrying them 1 at a time was not sufficient. After a quick scolding he carried 4 of them across the room! The lesson has served me well ever since -- work as hard as you can and get the job done! Love my Uncle Bob. Appreciate the lesson very much!

Thank you !! to all Foote Family for all the support you have offer me taking care of my family, and providing education for my kids, thanks to them I was able to offer everything they needed, and specially to Bob for making all this possible, May God bring peace to all his family !
