Robbie, Mary Anne and Families,
So saddened to hear of your Dad's passing. Not only was he a great neighbour but also a great friend. My Mom and Dad loved him like one of the family. He was always there to lend a hand and do whatever he could. Although I have not seen him for a few years, I still have wonderful memories of his kindness.
Sincere condolences.

Dear Mary Anne and Robbie,
So very sorry to hear of Henry’s passing. He was such a lovely man. I so appreciated the toast to the bride he did at our wedding. And then was kind enough to have it printed out and framed. It’s still cherished to this day. He will be missed by so many.

Thank you Joann and Mark, our father was very honored to have that asked of him. He thought you were a wonderful person and was very happy that my sister had you as such a special friend. To know he kept a copy of his own as we were going through his photos and little things he kept for the slideshow for the Celebration of Life, and the speech was there too.

Thank you Jean, and he indeed loved your family too. many great friendships and fun times where shared with your parents, brothers and sister over the years with my Dad. He was very fond of you all and was always glad you resided across the street on the corner from him. There are countless stories that have been told in our home by both our mother and father about our very special connection. Thank you for coming by and sharing your kind words and thoughts. We cherish them very much.

Robbie/Dianne, Mary Anne/Michael, and families:
I was deeply saddened to hear of Henry's passing. Henry was a kind, caring man who always put family, friends, and his community ahead of everything else. I know he will be greatly missed by all. I have so many great memories of times we spent together. Memories that I will always cherish. Our many parties at his camp in Millsville, weekend fishing trips, attending various dances, and just hanging out with family and friends. Over the years Henry was my teammate, my boss, my mentor and, most of all, my very close friend. One who was always there to laugh through the good times and support me through the tough ones. I will miss our chance meetings where laughter and stories of old events that we shared always took over the conversations. Janet and I offer our deepest condolences to all of Henry's family and friends at this, their time, of sorrow.
Rest in peace, old trooper, knowing that your legacy of kindness, sharing, and strong family ties will always be carried forth by Robbie, Mary Anne and families.

Thank you Bob and Pat, appreciate your thoughts and to know my dad was always fond of you both only from perhaps a couple of meetings. I believe once it was for getting some Hemlock Boards from a sawmill just down the road from you and the other was when you so kindly gifted me the wagon. He was always very impressed by your kindness and generosity.

To the Snow Family,
So very sad to hear Henry passed on. Am sure I am not the first to say he was my first hockey coach with the Hamilton's Paperweight team ( 1969). The best was the trip to the Hamilton's factory after the game where we ripped into the cookies before heading for home. Very fair, positive, and fun personality to be associated with as a youth....a man you'd never forget.

Thank you Ms George for your kind words and helping to keep him in the light with your candle. He loved teaching and enjoyed each and everyone of his students. In later years he would have some trouble matching faces to names, but once he got that he would always have a little story to tell. I am glad he was part of your life and we hope that he was successful in helping you along with your career in life.

Dear Robbie, Mary Anne and families,
Words can’t even begin to express the sadness I felt upon hearing of Henry’s passing. He was simply one of the kindest, friendliest and most generous individuals I have ever known. I remember Dad telling us stories of Henry’s willingness to “lend a few bucks” to anyone who was in need…always doing so without hesitation, without judgement and with optimism that the other person would do the same if the shoe was on the other foot. His humanity was indeed one of his greatest virtues (among all the others you beautifully captured in his obituary). He was an amazing man who will be missed by many and not soon forgotten. Please know you are all in my thoughts during this difficult time of loss.
Sincerely,
Lynn Haley

My condolences to the Snow Family for the loss of Henry. It’s been a long time since I last ran into him. As everyone knows…one of the nicest human beings on the face of the earth. First hockey coach I ever had as he volunteered in minor hockey with Hamilton’s every Saturday Am in the old rink. Everyone looked up to him and loved playing for him.

Robbie, Mary Anne and families,
My condolences to each of you on Henry’s passing. It’s such a sad time, but also a time to reflect on a life well lived. The obituary you wrote reminds all of us who benefited from Henry’s kindness and the generous time he gave back to his community, friends and neighbors. He was quite the guy and a role model for all. As a funny memory, I am reminded of the time that he and my Dad decided to attend the veterans club several months or years after it had been founded. There was a lobster draw that night and my dad held the winning number. Dad didn’t want to go up, but Henry took the number and got the lobsters which they later shared. They both liked the irony of the situation and had a great laugh. Also I have some other nice memories of our families going to the beach in Tony River.
r
robert snow Posted Jan 15, 2024 at 3:32 PM
Thank you Ron for sharing nice memories. Yes our Families have been such close friends and I thank you for your very kind words of our Dad. I did not know the lobster story, but I certainly remember all the fun times at Tony River Beach. My Dad thought very highly of your Dad and was very sad when he lost your father when he was such a special friend, much too early. I am glad our families still remain so very close and I think it will always be that way.

Henry Snow was one of the kindest people I ever met in my life---even when he had dozens of us kids traipsing through his yard to go coasting on what was then known as "Dunlop's Hill". I knew Henry all my life and never heard him say anything unpleasant about anyone or anything. Truly a gentleman. My condolences to the family.

He was always good with the Stories, and when he would meet students when he was out, would always be frustrated that he could not bring the name.

Thank u for your kind words and glad you have such memories.
