He did seem like a nice guy. I heard his show and listened to him speak. He was a die hard bush bot though. Their are people who should of died way b4 he did. Alan Colmes should of kicked off b4 Tony Snow did.
Snow was definetly not a kool-aid drinker. Before joining the Whitehouse, he was a columnist and wrote a series of articles critical to certain policies of the administration. Some were actually surprised that Bush would choose someone like him, considering his relationship with previous spokesman Scott McClellnan (we all know how well that went).
My prayers goes out to his family. I know how painful this type of loss is, my father lost his battle with lung cancer at 53, the same age as Snow.
