Tony Snow passed away at the age of fifty-three. Here is the FOX News and CNN coverage. Snow's troubles began with colon cancer which was diagnosed in February 2005. I'm sorry to hear that he couldn't beat the disease. He is survived by his wife and three children. My thoughts are with them.

He always seemed like a good guy. Although I disagreed with his ideology, he was a pleasant person. He played the flute, and he was pretty good at it too. He seemed like a conservative you could talk too, and could discuss matters with. I feel especially sad for his children.

RIP, Robert Anthony Snow.

I'm sorry for his family's loss.

He was a fine spokesperson for our corporate government. May karma bring him back in an appropriate position on the food chain.

On a related note, I wonder if he often drank corporate milk.

Too much lying... (none / 0)

...at least Scotty McClellan saw the light.

I'm sure he's asking Lee Atwater a few questions right now in the nether regions.

He was one of those conservatives that I found it hard to dislike on a personal level...much like Mike Huckabee...though I despise their politics. Poor kids to lose their father so young.

Sorry to hear this. I may disagree with people politically, but I don't wish death upon any of them.

I always get a bit nervous when I hear that someone my age has died -- and Tony Snow was my age. I suppose I'll be hearing it more and more as time goes on.

I for one welcome our new Twitter overlords. @Omir55

Same reaction, and he's younger than me. Leaves young children behind, which is always tragic. I do remember that he and Elizabeth Edwards seemed to publicly send support each other's way in their mutual struggle.

I hated to hear this and had to turn the TV off. I felt like I did when I couldn't read the post by Steve D? about his wife.

My husband is in a serious battle with cancer now.

All prayers are welcomed.

Question: Tony American deaths in Iraq have reached 2500. Is there any response or reaction from the President on that?

Tony Snow: Its a number ...and every time there's one of these 500 benchmarks people want something.

Rest in Peace, Tony. Your legacy..
