Robert "Bob" Warren Foote

Robert “Bob” Foote of 404 Banks St Graham, went home to His Lord on May 4 2017 surrounded by his loving family. Bob was born December 11, 1939 in Conesus NY to the late Kenneth Cecil and Marion Evelyn Henry Foote. He was married to the love of his life Meredith Mae Grann Foote and they had 57 great years together. Bob worked in the grocery business all his life and was a grocery manager for Byrd’s Food and Food Lion after moving to Burlington in 1977. He earned the name “Bob Cookie” in his younger years as he would give cookies to all the children who would come in the store. Bob was a true man of faith and loved serving his Lord. When Bob prayed for you the Lord listened. He never met a stranger and was kind to everyone. You didn’t have to spend 15 minutes with Bob to know what a great man he was. He had a wicked sense of humor; he was always a happy and upbeat with an encouraging word and rarely complained. Bob also loved to sing and play the piano and performed in many shows at the Conesus Town Hall. As a matter of fact he was singing right up to the moment he left us. He loved to work in his yard and spent many hours with his hands in the dirt planting all variety of flowers. His greatest joy was his grandchildren and the times he spent with each and every one. He often remarked how proud he was of all his grandchildren and all their accomplishments. He was their rock through many difficult times and they all knew if you needed sage advice, a good listening ear or just a great hug, Pa was the man to see. Bob had a big heart and shared it with everyone. He was well known for his great hugs. Survivors include, his children Steven Foote and his wife Chris of Mebane, Susan Clark and husband Bobby of Graham, Sheri Jones and husband Dale of Elon, and Amy Workman and husband Bobby of Graham: grandchildren Jason &Tyler Foote, Daniel & James Clark, Joshua & Keri Jones, Lauren, Bradley, Victoria and Nathan Workman; great grandchildren Matthew, Caleb, Andrew & Michael James Clark, Lily Grace, Levi and Jubilee Jones. In addition to his parents, he was proceeded in death by his wife Meredith; Brother Charles Foote; grandson Derek Lynn Jones and; great grandchildren Payton Clark and Daniel Clark Jr. A celebration of Bob’s life will be held Sunday May 7 2017 at the Burlington Assembly of God Church at 821 Tucker St with Pastor Brian Rainbow and Pastor Todd Martin officiating. The family will receive friends from 2-3pm Sunday followed by the service at 3pm. Burial will follow at the Graham Memorial Park. We invite family and friends to return to the home after for food and fellowship continuing the heritage of hospitality established by Bob and Meredith. The family would like to take this time to say a sincere Thank You to the doctors and nurses of the UNC Hospital MICU for the wonderful, kind care they provided Bob and our family at this very difficult time.
