I would like to send my prayers and condolences to Jill, the children and to the extended FOX family on the death of Tony Snow. Tony’s intelligence, humor and values in journalism and the delivery of the news was refreshing. He was a beautiful person that touched a lot of people with his courageous, christian walk during these last few years. The only way to say it is that he was a REAL CLASS ACT, in all aspects of life.

My father also died of colon cancer and he had a lot of the same beautiful attributes that Tony had. By watching my father go through radiation, chemotherapy and surgery I know that Tony’s last three years must have been difficult ones, but no one would ever have know that by watching his constant smiles and upbeat attitude towards life.

We all need to remember we have been left with such beautiful memories of Tony and he will always be remembered. I thank God for the time that He shared Tony with us.
Rest in peace, Tony… you will be missed.

It is very unfortunate that the slams from the left are always accepted because people who believe like Paul have not been taught values, they don’t think, and are very shallow. They have no concept of humanity, kindness and intelligence which, if Paul ever did listen to Tony Snow (which I doubt very much), that is what he was all about, no matter who or what he was talking about. Too bad for Paul…please try not to muddy the gene pool!

My condolences to Tony Snow’s family. His loss is felt by many. I listened to him often on the radio and then as Press Secretary to the President. He was a wonderful man of courage and faith.

I have to say that I am also very moved by the passing of these 2 great men. I was so proud of Mr. Snow when he became the White House Press Sect, and on the other hand would miss him on Fox News. What a great leader. Secondly, I never met Dr. DeBakey but live in his home town, Lake Charles Louisiana. Many locals are sadded by his lost for he was always there for the common man. He lived a great life.

My condolences to both the Snow and DeBakey families…Tony was a nice guy, albeit, a tad confused by the distortions being put forth by his employers, (Fox, hardly a news organiztion and The White House, not to be confused with leadership, integrity or responsibility.) DeBakey, on the other hand, was the greatest cardiovascular surgeon of the 20th century. DeBakey’s accomplishments and selflessness are too long to list here. As I said, Snow was a nice, affable and professional individual, other than that, the only correlation that I see between the two is that they died on the same day.

I heard another conservative columnist, Cal Thomas, try to make the same connection between Debakey and Snow that Dr. Manny attempts to make here. It’s pretty easy to see that there is no connection, so, conservative pundits, It’s ok to pay homage to the dead without distorting the facts.

Paul Cook……
I remember a comment my Dad made when I was a teenager. It was in response to a remark made by someone just like you, who had no respect for his fellow man…… “ignorance is no excuse to disrespect another man’s life”!
May God have mercy on YOUR soul.

Dr. Manny, what a great analogy to Tony Snow and Dr. Michael DeBakey. Both gave more than we could ever repay if needed. I didn’t know Dr. DeBakey as well as I knew Tony Snow. It’s as though I lost a part of my family.

I wish we had more Tony Snow’s in this world..he showed what journalism was meant to be. He was a professional and a good human being. Rest in peace, Tony…we know where you are.

Thank you for sharing your insights to Dr. DeBaky and Tony Snow. I never met them but I’ve enjoyed their work from afar and I’ve benefited from their contributions.
