Philip John Foto

Philip John Foto died peacefully at home in Harahan, LA on April 8, 2016 at the age of 86. He is survived by his wife, Davey; and his children, John Foto (Lisa), Carol Carimi (Glen), Diane Klotz (Robert), Cindy Foley (Steve), and James Foto (Carolyn); step daughter, Aimee Wyatt (Kevin); and sisters-in-law, Barbara Windhorst (Fritz) and Kathy Riem (Dan). Preceded in death by his daughter Phylis Ann Foto; mother, Rose Pumilia Foto; and father, John Philip Foto. He was born August 10, 1929 in New Orleans. He graduated from Jesuit High School in 1946 and Tulane Law School in 1952. He served the city of New Orleans as assistant district attorney to Jim Garrison and assistant city attorney to mayors Landrieu, Barthelemy, Morial (Mark), and Nagin. Philip Foto is remembered as a man who knew his Savior, Jesus Christ, and who loved and adored his wife, children, 15 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren, relatives, and friends. He was always occupied with the well being of others and a man humble in character. His great interest for athletics and physical fitness landed him many friends whom he shared life with for over 8 decades. Finally, His love for God's Word kept him thinking and meditating on eternal truths and promises that shaped his adult life since the day of his eternal salvation in 1983. One of his favorite Bible verses was Ephesians 2:8, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God."
