Remembering Tommy Snow 
( I'm sorry that I didn't learn of his death until recently)
His name was Thomas A. Snow, but every one called him Tommy.  He was tall and lanky, and would greet you with a warm smile on his face.  He was always eager to help whatever the situation.  He was a member of the holy name society at Sacred Heart's Catholic Church which was just down the block from his home on 85 Street in Glendale.  In his early manhood, he mastered sailing a catamaran and was an avid bike rider into his eighties.  He had a youthful playfulness about him with a jolly infectious laugh.  He and his wife Edna would play practical jokes spontaneously.  And he was a good husband to Edna who he nursed through her last years.  You might think of him as a big boy scout  every ready with a helping hand.  In fact, he once told me, God gave you two hands, one to help yourself and one to help others.  Tommy passed away this year at the age of 88 and just by being uniquely himself he left a void that no one can fill.  I have never known anyone more honest or sincere or of having any better quality of goodness in them than Tommy Snow.  If it is true that the pure in heart shall see God, then I know where my friend Tommy is.

Dear Uncle Tom, I have such wonderful memories of both you and Aunt Edna. As a child - The weekend you, Aunt Edna,my parents, me, my brother went away to Lancaster, PA.  The time you watched me and my brother and you played chess with my brother while Aunt Edna and I baked chocolate chip cookies that turned out to be as hard as hockey pucks..we had lots of laughs over the years about that.  You playing Santa Claus for me, my brother and my cousins and then later on for my own children. Stopping by after work in the Summer to sit on the stoop with you and Aunt Edna. Such good, sweet, wonderful memories. Rest In Peace Uncle Tom...I'm sure Aunt Edna was there to greet you when you entered Heaven and I'm sure my Mom and Dad were there to welcome you too and share some laughs over a cup of coffee.  Love, Debbie
