May this good man Rest in Peace. May our good Lord comfort his family in their grief.
BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS IN THE LORD,
AND WHOSE HOPE IS THE LORD.
( JEREMIAH 17:7 *NKJV )
We all have hopes and dreams for our future, for life would be very difficult without them.
I am so sad, this is like losing a family member
He will be missed.
God Bless you Tony.
A Good Man
How incredibly sad! He was such a good and decent man.
There are two other threads on this topic - one immediately before mine and one earlier this morning.
My apologies I didn’t see the very first one and the one just before me was being posted the same time as mine.
I am still trying to wrap my mind around the fact Tony Snow has gone.
Roger Ailes of Fox this morning said the Lord would have a great Press Secretary now.
RIP fellow Freeper
A sad, sad day.
So long, Tony. You will be missed.
St. Peter....stand by for a good man.
God Love him and keep him. He was a good man and a clear thinker.
So far, the other networks have dona a pretty good job of memorializing Tony.
I wonder if the rest of the networks will make the big hoopla as they did it when Tim Russert passed away

Yeah. Could somebody wake Drudge up and let him know...I guess he doesn’t consider it news worthy. Not even a footnote on his page....shame
To Tony’s family:
The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
Godspeed, Tony.
Sad news. We lost another of the good guys
Matt has the news on his site, maybe he just woke up. Saturdays in Miami are quite lazy, I am telling you this as a South Floridian. We tend to take our time and smell the coffee (and a croissant) on Coconut Grove or SoBe restaurants :)
I got to meet Tony, briefly, in the WH in 2006. Never got to talk to him at length. And yet the likes of Ted Kennedy and Ginsburg seem to just chug along.
Mort just said on Fox that Tony took the White House job knowing that his cancer was back!
Something I put on the other thread:
"Of course atheists feel pangs of emotion. They grieve, they laugh, they cry, they show up to hug and console. But when it comes to having something substantive to say, something that would provide consolation — that life has meaning; that one doesn’t simply occupy space for a time and then decompose; that there are great overarching principles that give life its depth, joy, texture and purpose; and that those principles arise not from artifice or practice, but from a Creator whose central principle is love — when it comes to making these arguments and more, the atheist must remain mute. They still can and do hug and cry. But they cannot argue that life is anything other than an accident and death, the end of everything..."
Tony had the personality of a Ronald Reagan, warm, handsome, optimistic, incredibly positive. It was really impossible not to like him.
He will be missed.
Amen, rest in peace my friend.
1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous
but the way of the wicked will perish.
What a sad day gladdened only by the knowledge that he is at home with is Creator. God bless him and his family.
RIP Tony. You fought a hard battle. G-d bless your family.
Isn’t it interesting, the more certain you are someone has gone to be with the Lord the more tears you shed.
Rest in Peace Tony. Best wishes to his family and friends.
Wow. I thought he was Okay and the cancer was in remission. Really sorry to hear this.
Cal Thomas:
“In the old CBS TV show “Touched by an Angel,” Andrew, the angel of death once said: “Death is nothing to fear, but it is something to prepare for.” Tony was prepared and now he rejoices in another and better place with the Lord he loved. It is now my privilege and that of all those who knew Tony to pray for and care for Jill and their wonderful children.”
Lovely replies on this topic which I threw on the forum in early morning fog and haste. Thank you for making it worthy after all - I was ashamed I did a disservice to a man I have admired for years.
Snow raised the bar on news folk and those who make their living writing, creating, seeking, broadcasting and ‘twisting information’ for the public. In addition, he was able to maintain a fair and objective posture when arguing, debating, or sharing viewpoints with others - a rare sight of a personality not taking things personally.
The world of news has a large empty spot at the table and he was such a unique person, I doubt his spot can be filled.
Confession time: It is hard not to get angry at the Grand Plan of who is taken from us when they are in their life prime - but Tony Snow was one of those people I felt could always keep a solid hand on the reigns for us - and that we could trust his message.
A good and beautiful man has been called home.
I will miss him terribly.
I just heard this and I’m in tears... So sad . RIP Tony and God Bless you and your family .
Prayers to the Snows.
God Bless Him may he rest in peace. Truly a fine man, husband and father. He will be missed. Prayers to his family.
Fox News Sunday will probably have a great tribute for Tony Snow, because Tony Snow used to host that show. Don’t miss it this morning at 9 a.m., ET. You can even watch it if you don’t have cable.
