Obituary of Gary Reginald Howard Foote

It is with great sadness that the family of Gary Foote announce his sudden passing at his home in Smiths Falls on February 25, 2022. Although the last decade brought many health challenges, Gary never gave up and fought courageously until the end. Proud Dad of Kathryn (Gary) and Shane (Melanie). Adored Popsie of Brayden and Victoria. Cherished forever friend of Barb. Beloved brother of Robert (Bonnie), the late Wayne (Hazel), and Bonnie (George) and brother-in-law of Anne (Dave). He will be greatly missed by his cousins, nieces, and nephews. In 1992, without hesitation, Gary gave the gift of life through donation of one of his kidneys to his brother, Wayne. Together they shared a special bond until Wayne’s passing in 2002. Special thanks to his neighbour, Katrina, the staff members across the street at Giant Tiger and his dialysis team at Smiths Falls Hospital. Gary was a stranger to no one, happily engaging in conversation with those he encountered. Gary was first to offer a ride or a hand to anyone in need. His genuine kindness and sense of humour will be missed by many.  Friends and family are invited to pay their respects on Thursday March 3, 2022 at the St. Johns Anglican Church (2 George St South, Smiths Falls) from 10 – 11am, with a service to follow at 11am. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital Foundation -  Dialysis Unit would be appreciated.
