Tony Snow will be missed…

He will be missed desperately by his family, and he will be missed in the political world he so willingly participated in with such confidence, candor, and respect. He was not typical of today’s partisan political analyst. He reveled in healthy debate of the issues with little use for personal attacks so often used by his rivals in the democratic establishment.

I have enjoyed Tony since finding him on Fox News Sunday many years ago. I love the fact that he balanced his political life with family, and his love for music. He brought a deliberate style of love for country in every political endeavor including Press Secretary for George W Bush.

I can only express my sadness here by saying there are very few Tony Snow’s in the political world today, and to lose him is a big blow to the opportunities he brought to the table to keep both sides engaging in civil debate. But most importantly he was a great example of the need for balance in life by showing others that loving family and country is possible, and balancing both can lead to a successful life.

He died too young, and he will be missed. It is a sad day to all that knew him, or knew of him. We pray for his family’s loss and our nation’s loss. We pray for his wife and 3 children. Our hearts and prayers are with you…

Thank you! I knew you would do a nice tribute to him. I still miss him on Fox News Sunday after all of these years. He seemed to be such a "real" person. I hope he is in heaven now! What a great job he did as press secretary -- listening to them play back bits from his press briefings brings smiles to my face!
