Some of you probably don’t know who Tony Snow was. He worked a news man, a radio host and served as speech writer for one president and a press secretary for another, but he will be most remembered as a kind, positive, honorable Christian who always had a smile on his face and never had a harsh word to say about anyone, even those he was currently debating.
In February 2005 he discovered that he had colon cancer, the same cancer that took his mother when Tony was 17. He had his colon removed, but the cancer spread anyway. By July 2007 it was in abdomen and that’s when Tony, who was never afraid to talk about his faith, wrote this article for Christianity Today: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2007/july/25.30.html. It’s worth a read and it’s worth sharing with others, which is why I’m sharing it with you.
Tony Snow is survived by his wife, Jill Ellen Walker; their son, Robbie; and daughters, Kendall and Kristi.
