He was predeceased by his wife Jean, son Bryan and sister Irene Flickenger. Charlie, son of John and Lulu Foote, was born August 31, 1917 at the family farm located south east of Purple Springs. He was educated at Hudson School. At the age of 14, Charlie worked for neighbours to supplement the farm’s income. Fascinated by developing technology, he began inventing machinery to make farming easier. Among his inventions were a portable welder, a manure spreader, a side pick up for bales and a scoop for the tractor. Charlie always wanted to know how things worked and looked for ways to improve them. When Calgary Power, the telephone and natural gas were being introduced to rural areas, Charlie was eager for them to be accepted by the farmers in the Hudson area and worked hard to bring these services to all the farms. He was also a very active member of the Fraternal Order of Moose and the Knox United Church in Taber. In 1941, Charlie married his childhood sweetheart and neighbour, Jean Fletcher. They were just three months away from celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary when Jean passed away. The majority of their married life was spent farming. In 1984 they retired to Taber and enjoyed traveling to Europe, the Philippines and many US states. After Jean’s passing, Charlie moved first to Harmony Home, later the Clearview Lodge and finally Continuing Care where he made many new and wonderful friends. Poetry became a new found talent and it was his way of expressing his thoughts on the environment and life in general. He will be fondly missed by his family and many friends.
