This is very sad news for me. I was fortunate to meet him a couple of times over the years. He was always very kind. When I was a kid, he lived just a short distance from my family outside Memphis. Rest in peace Mr. Foote.

I understand he was very much the gentleman but did not care for the limelight and that he wouldn't sign autographs, even of his own books.
