The sense of loss was evident in President Bush's voice, as he spoke of the passing of his former press secretary and friend.

"I came to know Tony as a very smart and capable man," said President Bush. "He had good values. He was an honest guy. He had a wonderful sense of humor. He loved to laugh. He loved his country and he loved his family."

Snow had another love. Even on his last day at the White House - when the thinning hair and gaunt face of a cancer patient were so evident - he stressed how much he loved his job.

"Everybody talks about what a horrible job it is to brief the press,but I love these briefings!"

Tony Snow had two careers that somehow intertwined. He served two presidents - both the current President Bush and his father, George H. W. Bush. And both before and between his stints at the White House, he was a journalist.

He brought the skills of a newspaper columnist and talk-show host to the press secretary's office.
