The first time I ever heard you, you were filling in for Rush and your first child was due to be born and your wife was in labor. I listened to the excitement in your voice and still how professionally you handled the show. You kept saying "I've got to leave any minute, my first child is on it's way!!! I loved your voice, your enthusiasm, and your knowledge of all that you talked about. I always loved to hear you when you sat in for Rush and I was so glad to see you when you became Press Sec. You were so good!!! You were funny, great with reporters and told the news with such charisma. You will be so missed!!! We love you Tony Snow!!! Heaven just got a really Wonderful Guy!!! Bless your wife & children and may they know that Tony was loved & appreciated by so many!!!

May God grant this good man joy inexpressible in his life everlasting.

I admired Tony for his honesty, family values and sunny outlook on life. His wonderful smile .and Loyality truly were remarkable. Tony You will be missed. Thought and prayers are with your wonderful family and Children.

He was one of the few (may be the only one) on FOX NEWS that I loved to listen to. Although I did not agree with him all the time, there was some genuineness about him. He was fair and never mean. Where ever you are Tony, God be with you. My sincere condolences to his family.

Surly he will be remembered in the book of "Those that loved their fellow man" God Bless him and his family

Tony showed us the true meaning on what it is to be a conservative. He was passionate about what he believed in and he was not afraid to express it. I enjoyed watching him for many years on Fox News and on the radio. Tony was a great American. He will be truly missed yet always remembered! My prayers go out to his wife Jill and their three children.

Tony Snow was my absolute favorite news person on Fox News. I missed him so much when he made his move to the White House, I have to say though, if there was a bright spot in that administration in the last few years it had to be Tony. I never saw a person more full of life and just the joy of living as Tony was he was the best of all of us, and I think, never met a stranger, so Tony as you enter the gates of Heaven, please say a big hello to my son Mace, he would have loved you to!

If there were to be a network in heaven, it has received two wondeful anchors in Tony Snow and Tim Russert. May they rest in the grip of the Master forever.

Tony Snow was a journalist. He was not just someone who called himself a journalist he was one. He knew the importance of the profession. He knew that words do matter and that the way journalists reported and recorded the happenings of their time and place shaped the way history would be recorded. He had integrity and it showed in the way he did his job and the way he conducted himself. We are all better for having had him among us, and for being the beneficiaries of his many talents. I wish his family all of Gods blessings in this their trying time and in the days and weeks to come without him. Carry him in your hearts and remember his good cheer, optimism and joy during the many trying times that he endured.

My heart and prayers go out to Jill Snow and her children. Also to the rest of Tony's family and friends. He was a good, decent man. I never missed Fox News Sunday when he was in charge. I trusted him as I do few people in the media. He was always smiling always upbeat no matter what. Even through his illness. He always said he was lucky. Well Tony, so were those of us whose lives you touched. I feel as though I have lost a friend even though I never met him. I will miss his handsome smiling face. God bless you Tony as heaven welcomes you.

I got to know this gentle giant on Fox news. I missed him when he went to the White House. When I heard of his illness I sent him and e-mail full of prayers and told him to never give up. I was so proud to get a return e-mail from he himself. I sent his e-mail to all my friends. He not only heard my prayers.But sent up prayers for me. I had just lost my husband.To his family Tony is in your hearts. And in ours. God took a great person from this earth. But to a better place.God Bless all of his family. Abbie Brock Dayton, Oh.

My deepest sympathy to Tony's family and friends.

In a town with more than its share of worms, weasels, louts and Machiavellian manipulators, genuinely good people stand out like sore thumbs. And Tony stood out from the crowd. He always retained his humility and humanity while working in milieus – first the major media and then politics -- that can squeeze them both out of you. If he was a typical Washington climber, he hid it well. Snow rose through the ranks on the merits, motivated not my personal ambition but a genuine passion for ideas and love of country. He delivered the conservative message with the calmness, composure and good humor of someone who has confidence that reason and common sense can win out in the end. My brushes with Snow were brief but always pleasant. My entrée came courtesy of my sister, Leslie, who knew Snow from the days when they both worked in Detroit media, she with PBS, he with the Detroit News. They stayed in touch after both went to Washington. These connections were tenuous. I was just the brother of someone he knew from a previous life. But he was always gracious when we crossed paths professionally or socially, treating me as if we were old friends. And that made me think of Tony as an old friend. Frankly, I was a little worried, and surprised, when Tony leaped from the television studio into the snakepit of the White House briefing room. I had no doubt he could help the president deliver his message, and neutralize some of the press room prima donnas with his humanity, humor and credentials as a real-world journalist. But I thought it was a potential step down, into muck and mire that might leave a good man spattered with both. That he managed to emerge unscathed – and, in fact, as a hero for his tenacious battle with a killer -- underscored his decency and integrity as a person. He took the White House job not because it would serve as the capstone to a brilliant career – he was still young and would have gone on to do greater things, I’m sure, had events not taken such a tragic turn -- but because the president needed him. It’s that simple, really. He was called to serve and he did. That’s just the kind of guy Tony Snow was.

I was a great fan of Tony's and loved to watch him and listen to him.

I loved watching Tony on the FOX network and was a very happy girl when he went to work for the whitehouse. He was a man of morals and stood strong for his beliefs. I will miss him very much. I hope to finally meet him one day in heaven. All my love, Susie

I first saw Tony Snow on Fox right after 9/11. His brief commentary on the spirit of Americans touched me and I never missed a broadcast after that. I was blessed to meet him last year at a Republican fundraiser and had my picture taken with him. It is one of my most treasured possessions. It is true that the room lit up when that great man entered it. No one I have ever met had the optimism, faith and pure humanity of Tony Snow. The world is a less beautiful place today. May God keep you close Tony and may He bless your family.

TONY WILL BE MISSED BY MANY MANY PEOPLE HE WAS A GREAT GREAT MAN I PRAY FOR HIS FAMILY BARBARA

I have watched & listened to Tony in his various broadcast jobs admiring his work. He brought integrity to the profession. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and three children. I know what it is like to be by the side of a spouse with cancer as my wife is still struggling with breast cancer. May God be with the entire Snow family.

Tony and I shared the same type of cancer. Even though we never met I rooted for him to beat the cancer every day. He fought the good fight and I will remember him for that. I know that God will help his family through this and they will remember his courage and strength. I will continue to fight on and remember his courage. God speed Tony.

Every once in awhile an individual stands up and gives a life of dedicated service to this great nation we are so greatful to live in. Tony showed us that character,understanding,compassion, and integrity must be a part of the very fabric of news reporting and our political landscape. Tony set the example,now let us follow that example. GOD bless you Tony,my sincere condolances to his wife and children.

MY FAMILY AND I ARE DEEPLY SADDENED BY THE NEWS OF TONY'S DEATH, WE LOVED TO LISTEN TO THIS KIND, SOFT SPOKEN GENTLEMAN , HIS SMILE WAS INFECTIOUS AND HIS KNOWLEDGE OF POLITICS ---ENORMOUS, HE WAS AN AMAZING PRESS SECRETARY, OBVIOUSLY A GOD LOVING MAN, A TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT HE WILL BE SADLY MISSED. GOD BLESS HIS WIFE AND FAMILY, THEY WILL ALL BE IN OUR PRAYERS. RESPECTFULLY, THE ROSI FAMILY.

Remembering a great man

There he was: the Press Secretary... The only defense against a room full of eager reporters bent on finding fault, and Tony Snow reigned them in, herded them to the trough, and made them drink civility... Thank you, Tony for standing when others before and after you cower... I believe that President Bush was more forthright and decisive when you were there... I am truly sorry that your time is over now... May God bless your family 100-fold the blessings that you provided for us! I guess God needed a good Press guy on his staff up there!

We all knew Tony when he was a rookie reporter. He never let all the "hype" get to his genuine kind soul. He loved family and friends, and cared for equality in his work. He was a great man, and a great family friend. We are all so sad and will miss his humor and light....

Although I never met Tony, each time I saw him on TV or heard him on the radio, I got the feeling that he was someone I had known.

I first discovered Tony in the 90s when he and Walter Williams were fill-ins for Rush Limbaugh on the radio. Tony took the time to listen and then explain things to callers in a soft patient way. And before he hung up he made sure the caller understood all that he and the listener had discussed. Now I love Rush and always enjoyed Walter when he subbed for Rush, but Tony was special. I actually got to the point where I kept wishing Rush would take time off again so I could hear Tony. Later, of course he went on to the White House and joined Fox News, but neither of those gigs meant as much to me as listening to him filling in for Rush. I have no doubt that Tony is with the Lord now, and tomorrow morning at church my prayers will be with the Snow family.

Just too young. He was a great man.

What a great day for Heaven this is. He will be so missed here on earth. He was funny, truthful and trustworthy in all his reporting. With the passing of Tony and Tim Russert, who can we possibly listen to that we can trust? He was a true American who finished with Honor!

I became familiar with Mr. Snow as the result of a local newspaper story indicating he came to strengthen his faith during the forced inactivity resulting from his cancer treatment. I pray God will comfort his family and loved ones in the assurance of a reunion for those who believe.

Tony was such a great guy. I loved listening to him no matter what the media. I always found myself hanging onto every word. I'm sad for America and even sadder for his wife and children. I admire his courage and Christian faith. God be with his family.

I loved listening to Tony when he substituted for Rush. He was witty, and even when the caller was nasty, he handled it with grace. He also was a very bright man (anyone could tell that) and I loved his commentary. I was so happy when he and Britt went to Fox News. I think they were the best of friends. He was a wonderful spokesman for our President. Who knows why the Lord brought him home, but he must have had a problem that only Tony could solve. He has been in my thoughts throughout the struggle. My sympathy to his family. The United States has lost a patriot. Joseph A. Swift, Spartanburg, SC

I'm going to miss Tony. Ever since he left the radio we've been missing him. We pray for his family and for the nation which will mourn him. Tony will get to keep Bill Buckley company now. Tony we miss ya already! mar

I watched you from afar and admired your courage, your joy for life and your battle for health. You fought a good fight and your faith showed through in all that you said or did. You were a great man and I will miss you. Wish there were more people like you especially in politics-people of honesty, integrity and courage. Be at peace with Jesus in heaven.

I am very sad to hear of Tony's passing. . I remember when he left radio to become Press Secretary. I was sad to miss him on Radio, but knew he was going to be a GREAT asset as Press Secretary - and He WAS. I hated it when he had to leave. To his family - you had a great husband and father -thanks so much for sharing him with the rest of us. Such a blessing to share. Now he is with God in Heaven. He is now being Blessed beyond belief for all he was to us. Thank you Tony and God Bless your family as go on without you.

I didn't know you personally but I loved you.. Your humility was so evident and your kindness showed through with everything you did. I will miss watching you enjoying your job and treating it with the respect it deserved. You struggled long and hard and now its time to rest.

I used to wait for his program to come on , he was a true gentleman and very honest , I will miss him

I loved his gentleness. I loved his sense of humor. I loved his honesty...when it was not cool to be honest and forthright..expecially when he pushed the person, and, when he refused to be swayed in his questioning He will be missed politically, by his co-workers, by his peers, and most by his family.. God has welcomed an ole friend home..and he is at rest!

His spirit of professionalism, honesty, love of country and belief in a power higher than himself epitomized Tony's philosophy of life and work. He told it like it is. He respected others point of view but never lost his. He made us laugh and cry right along with him. He is a role model for future journalists. who should try to emulate this great man. There will never be another one like him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, and all those who knew him personally. He has surely left a void in all their lives.

Tony, When I get to Heaven I want to see you and hear you call my Name,Come in you will say we have been waiting for you. God Bless,

My prayers are with his family. I enjoyed Tony's press conferences and tried to watch them as often as I could. Pat Rueppel, New Hampshire

The measure of a man is not always what he does, but what he doesn't do. Doesn't give up, doesn't complain, doesn't have hatred, doesn't have an ounce of disrespect for his fellow man or woman, and when he knows he is going to die, is at enough peace with himself that he worries more what it will do to his family than to him. Godspeed Mr. Snow.

An honest and honorable man is gone. Few people are in private what they are in public. Tony Snow was such a man. He was a good and loving person. We have far too few in this world. He will be sadly missed. God bless you Tony. You have made this country and this world better.

FOR YEARS I HAVE WATCHED OR LISTENED TO TONY SNOW. WHENEVER HE WAS ON THE AIR, HE TOOK PRIORITY OVER ANYONE ELSE. WE WILL MISS HIS HUMOR, CHRISTIAN SPIRIT. HUMILITY AND THE MANNER IN WHICH HE PRESENTED HIMSELF AND THE WORLD AROUND HIM. THE WORLD HAS SO FEW PEOPLE LIKE HIM LEFT. ROSMARY PATTERSON

I just wanted to pass on my condelences to Tony's family and friends. I enjoyed watching him on Fox News and was happy when he went to work for the White House. I loved how he handled the press, considering he was one of the press himself. I just liked the guy! He's probably up in heaven right now, press secretary to all our beloved past presidents! God Bless Tony and his family

I am 77yrs old and I have been there and done it and seen so many politics...but you stood out in my mind so strong.such a wonderful man and godly and such an inspiration to so many young people who will remember you.Love you and will see you soon with our lord....Donna

Dear Jill & Family, I have no words that will make your loss any easier. But, you and your family will remain in my prayers. I will so miss "our great debater," and all the honesty, integrity, and love of family and country he brought to our lives'. God bless you Jill, and Tony you are deeply missed. You had the last word. :-) Sarah

We met Tony at a fundraiser for breast cancer at the Columbia Country Club in Chevy Chase, MD. about ten years ago. He was a one of the band members, and he was quite talented!. More memorable than his playing, though, was his friendly openness upon meeting a couple of strangers. He was warm and chatty, and we thoroughly enjoyed talking with him - it was a little like running into an old friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and co-workers who all must be experiencing a big void. Pat

So many times I welcomed him into my home. Each tme I was enlightened and entertained. He is sorely missed.

We will never see another White House Press Secretary who will be able to hold a candle to Tony Snow, for he was so much more than being a spokesperson for the President. He was a gifted writer, speaker, musician (he played seven instruments well) and such a dedicated husband and father. My prayers go out to his loving wife and his children, who I am sure are grieving now and will forever miss their wonderful dad. He was so brave and upbeat even after learning he had cancer. He refused to let this dreadful disease get him down. He, as one newsperson said, was a true profile in courage. He is surely in Heaven now and Jesus is meeting Tony and embracing a really sweet, loving, talented man. God Bless You, Tony. You will be greatly missed by all.

I will always remember him on Fox News and when he would set in for Rush, what a great guy
