Roosevelt laid to rest again with re-enactor Foote’s death ‘Eccentric bohemian’ who made people smile By LAURA LANE llane@liherald.com
James Foote, who was beloved in Oyster Bay and the surrounding villages for his portrayal of President Theodore Roosevelt, died in his sleep on May 4, just as the former president had a century earlier. Foote’s wife, Joni, said she thought he was playing a joke on her when she tried to rouse him, because he liked to kid around. But when she threatened to call 911 and he didn’t
respond, she knew he was gone. “When the fireman came to the house, he asked me Jim’s name,” Joni recounted. “When I told him, he paused and said, ‘The Teddy Roosevelt guy?’ He had tears in his eyes.” Foote, who was 73, had a stroke in 2019 and had diabetes.
