    How sad I really liked Tony and 53 is way too young to die and leave a family behind.

    Breaking News: Tony Snow dies; ex-Bush press secretary was 53 | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times

    "Popular and inevitably cheerful, even during his draining chemotherapy treatments, Snow was well-liked among the White House press corps and with the smooth practice of a broadcaster seemed to genuinely enjoy the public sparring with media and explaining his boss's positions."

    I like him too, despite his affiliations. I didn't realize his cancer had progressed so badly, I thought he'd been doing well... It sucks that such a bad disease can hit some so young.

    His parents are also alive and live in The Villages, Florida. Condolences to all his family.

    That is such sad news. He seemed like a really intelligent and decent guy and sure battled his cancer courageously. With that said, advanced colon cancer is a serious thing. I feel so bad for his family.

    Disagreed with his politics, but was touched by the various media-pieces on him in the last year.

    A good guy. :(

    The altar boy meets his maker. A giant not just among journalists, but in life. He accomplished more in his too short life than most can only dream about. My sympathies to his loved ones.

    Tony Snow was great asset to the Bush regime. To bad he had to spend the last part of his life in that job.
