Fox News is announcing that Tony Snow has died.

Heartbreaking news.

Tony was a true patriot, a real conservative and a great man. I will always remember the day he sat in for Rush Limbaugh many years ago. That show was one of the greatest of all time by any talk show host anywhere,IMHO.

I have often thought that it may have led to his radio career.

He will be missed by all of us and has left his mark on the world of those who love our country, family and God.

You knew this was going to happen.

What tragic news.

He was only 53 years old. There may be some wisdom in getting a colonoscopy at 50 after all.

Tony struck me as a genuine class act. Take a look at his posts here on Free Republic.

Oh my, save. How can I have forgotten how much fun those threads were. So many clever, involved people.

When Tony went to the White House and we didn’t have the thread any longer, I was actually a bit of a lost soul for a few weeks.

[Bahbah]

Someone posted your interview with Tony earlier in the thread. How nice and how special to have had that experience.

Tony’s grace under fire from cancer always made me think of the Footprints poem. Since the poem is copyrighted I’ll just post a link.

I know The Lord has always carried Tony over the bad patches. He had also blessed him with many talents, a loving family, good friends, and devoted fans like the FR SNOWflakes.

Your words are so very true. Tony was certainly a wonderful person and great American. I will miss him.

[saveliberty]

I couldn’t have said it better myself, Bahbah!

[STARWISE]

Awww .. sleuthie! Sad day .. wonderful to ‘see’ you. Hugs.

[rdb3]

Woof.

[defconw]

As were we all. It was never the same after Tony left the air.

[tiredoflaundry]

No particular importance other than we were all together

LOL You broke the stream that day???? LMAO!

Rest in Peace!

I’m 47. Get a colonoscopy at 40! Its no big deal. I got stage 4 colon cancer at 47. If I would have gotten one at 40 (tony too)our situations may have been very different.

If they catch the polops they snip em out right during the colonoscopy, (colon has no nerves.. you can’t feel a thing). Even if its stage 1 or 2 cancer they can usually cure you. By stage 4 it has already spread usually to the liver, and your chances are greatly reduced. Get the colonoscopy at age 40. Do it at thirty if there is any trace of colon cancer in your family.

Do it for Tony!

Just as from the heavens the rain and SNOW come down and do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, giving seed to the one who sows and bread to the one who eats, so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; my word shall not return to me void, but shall do my will, achieving the end for which I sent it.

How perfect for this day, and for the man who was such a great friend to all.

[tiredoflaundry]

Those were some wonderful times............

An example of a life lived with courage, good humor and grace. Rest in peace Mr. Snow.
