I am so sad to hear about Reverend Snow's passing. I have fond memories of him when I attended St. Luke's as a child. He was ALWAYS smiling and made you feel so welcome. My thoughts are with his family at this time.

Hello Family...I met Art while my Dad was in the Veterans Hospital last year for eleven months.  Art was my one bright light there and would tell me  of Harbour Grace when he was a little fellow.  A few days after Dad passed away, I took a Christmas plant to the floor for the fellows and the nurses to enjoy and as I hoped Art was in his place, at his table, looking out the window at his world.  That day, we had our last talk, our last tears together and I heard him say once again "all we have are the memories".  Thanks Art,  your friend Jennifer Bayer Atton

To Debbie and family, 
Wishing you comfort and peace in your memories of your Dad.  

Lynda Scott Lunn (MSVU'73)

Dear Marjorie,
First I wish to offer my condolences to you and your family with the loss of such a great person.  Cecil called me with the news and hopefully had the opportunity to relay my sympathies.  We were unable to visit as we were on our way out of town taking our son to start his second year of University.  I can only imagine St. Luke's was packed and for all the right reasons.  I met Art at an Atlantic Woodworkers meeting.  Cecil and Jen were providing drives by that point.  
One of my favorite aspects of the AWA group was when Art stood to speak.  Automatically I would lean pack and perk up.  It didn't matter the subject.  His words were well chosen. His wit was wry. His message true and pretty much always mixed with a healthy dose of good humour.  His projects belied a skilled wood worker both humble and serious about his craft.
At one point I asked the group for help.  I new someone travelling to Cambodia and wanted to send appropriate toys for the children in a village with no electricity.  We talked about the possibility of spinning tops and we were able to collect enough from the AWA members to have one in every hut if not one for every child in the village.  Half of them came from Art - I believe he credited his brother.  Typical Art.  
It was a privilege to come with Cecil to do a little woodworking to make things safer for Art at home.  
May the memories of Art stay with you and keep warmth in your heart til next you meet.
Sincerest sympathy,
David Smith

Dear Marjorie, Deborah and Family
My sister, Nancy Anne, forwarded a copy of Arthur's obituary notice to me here in Nanaimo, BC, our retirement home. Arthur's first parish appointment was to the Parish of Maitland where I was a ten year old schoolboy. He had a a great down to earth ministry to that rural area, and was very active and encouraging to young people. He started a Boy Scout troop, and during his ministry the Maitland Parish became completely self supporting. Later, during his ministry in St. Luke's Parish, Westphal, I was one of the 22 divinity students he mentored, when I was in my final year of studies in King's College before graduation and ministry in the Arctic and then the Diocese of Moosonee. I am proud to call Arthur one of my role models, who inspired and influenced me in my own life and ministry. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
Caleb Lawrence, (Retired) Archbishop of Moosonee

dear Marjorie and families,
Art was indeed a faithful priest and had an active retirement as long as he had his health. May God bless your sharing of memories in the days to come.

To the family of Rev. Arthur Snow - Rev. Snow was such a strong and important memory of our time growing up in Woodlawn and attending St. Luke's Church. He was not only our minister but a friend. When thinking of him I smile, he had that special talent/quality, he brought great comfort to both our parents in their final days, truly a fine man.
Please accept our deepest condolences. - Chris, Ann & Gordon Pelly

Dear Marjorie, Deborah and family,
We have fond memories of Art from our time in the Parish of Maitlland & Kennetcook and then from our years at Christ Church, Dartmouth and also from Art's widespread involvement in the life of the Region and the Diocese.
In his ministry Art has made a wonderful contribution to many people and touched numerous lives.
Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Snow - Davis families.  My sincere condolences.  "Uncle Art" was our family minister for his entire ministry at St. Lukes, along with being the uncle of one of my oldest and dearest friends, Lynn Snow Landry.  I have nothing but fond memories of him and he will always hold a special place in my heart.  I am praying for God's comfort to all of you at this time.

Dear Marjorie and Family;
Please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss.  As he crosses the bar; we hope the wonderful memories that you and Arthur have made together will help you through this difficult time.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Although I only met Marjorie a couple of times and don't know any of the other family members, I must express my deepest sympathies to you all. I came to know Reverend Snow while I worked as a funeral director in Dartmouth. I worked in HRM from 1998-2007 and Art took on many funeral services for me over those years. I thoroughly enjoyed interacting with him; he was such a gentle and kind man. Through getting to know Art on a more personal level, he told me of his love for carpentry. He graciously accepted the call to help me when I wanted to make some crosses for the church I attended for Holy Week. I loaded the rough lumber into my car and headed over to his house. When I got there, he went to the basement and opened the "trap door" that led from the back yard into his shop and we put the eight foot lengths of wood into the basement. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with him that day and at other times when we had the chance to talk. He often told me about how he loved to visit Newfoundland and he was so upset when he could no longer make those trips. I have the greatest respect for Reverend Snow and just wanted to share my thoughts and prayers with you.

Regards,
Bruce Varner
