I remember Fr. Kevin Foote when he was working as a missonionary in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa and I lived in Johannesburg,South Africa. Through a former South African school friend now living in Christchurch, namely John Kennedy we arranged for Fr. Kevin to stay with me and my late wife for a few nights to catch a connecting flight to Kinshasa or alternatively Christchurch. He was a joy to have in the home and we always looked forward to his visit as he was so cheerful and happy and told us so many interesting and happy stories about his life. I last made contact with him in 2018 when i was in Christchurch to visit friends and relations, but regrettably he was ill and we were unable to connect. During his stay overs i did have contact with his brother Terrance at his work E-Mail address. May Fr. Kevin's soul rest in peace, he was a special and joyful man and loved life.

Our condolences to the Foote family at this time. Our family knew and admired cousin John, and remember him with fondness. He was a good man, kind, generous, had a great sense of humour, and was a genuine servant of God.
