Tony Snow remembered

It’s a sad day. Tony Snow has died of complications due to colon cancer.

I knew Tony Snow. He and I weren’t close friends. He had many close friends as he was a friendly, bright, handsome man who was quick to smile and had an even quicker wit.

He was a speech writer in Washington, D.C. while I worked there. He and I emailed occasionally over the years, more often when he was a radio talk show host.

He was a decent man with many interests – none above his family and politics. Family clearly came first.

Tony Snow brought humor, class and integrity to politics. He will be remembered this weekend, and missed for years to come.

If we are lucky, he will also be emulated.
