Tony Snow, 1955-2008

Damn.

Survived by his wife and three children.

Remembered here by President Bush:

"It was a joy to watch Tony at the podium each day. He brought wit, grace, and a great love of country to his work," Bush said. "His colleagues will cherish memories of his energetic personality and relentless good humor."

It was fun to watch him in that role, even for that brief year and a half. But what I really enjoyed was listening to him being interviewed. He spoke about what a fortunate man he was, how life had been far better to him than he deserved. I didn't know the man, but he sure came across as a genuinely nice guy.

Ed Morrissey talks about meeting him in 2004.

RIP Tony.
