You were always kind and generous man not just to his friends and family, but also to others. Tom Foote was also a very good dancer, and he proved that by teaching all of those ladies and dignitaries from 30 foreign nations to Texas Two Step at the Inaugural Ball. The music was courtesy of the Texas Jamm Band Featuring Members of George Strait’s Ace In The Hole Band and special guest, Dean Dillon. The guest list was impressive and included the United Nations members. You were a charming and handsome Texas gentleman!
He will be missed beyond measure by his beloved family, the George Strait Family, your countless friends and colleagues, especially Mo, and certainly by his close associates. “I will miss your calls and texts. I will think of you often, and always remember you in a special way. Please hug Mike Kennedy for me. Rest easy, Tommy. We will see you on the other side. Love you, old friend.” said Linda Brown in post paying tribute to him
Early Life and Education
Tom attended Bellaire High School, Houston, TX where he completed his secondary education. He was born and raised in Houston, Texas but later on, he moved to San Marcos, Texas where he lived until his time of death.
The band and I were with him most of the afternoon and he was great. Just doing what he loved to do which was making sure we were taken care of. 2024 is taking its toll on the Ace in the Hole group. We’re all heartbroken to say the least. Rest in peace brother Tom. You will be hugely missed. I’ll see you down the road amigo. -gs – George Strait
