Eddie Foote: a very special man. A man I was proud to call my Dad. He had so much to offer our world and was a wonderful Grandad. Taken too soon, I still miss my precious Dad, 52 years on. My Dad, you did well.

Eddie Foote was my father, a great mate to me. He left us to early, at age 52. He was laid to rest at Rotorua crematorium. Loved his fishing and gardening. This year, his granddaughter (Kelly 32) wore his medals for the first time at ANZAC day parade. "lest we forget"
