We met years ago when he worked for TVA.
He would bring cylinders to be serviced at my place of employment. His great personality and kind spirit
was infectious. After retirement he would even stop by if he was in the area for a brief visit. His precious wife Mildred would even be with him sometimes.
It saddens me to hear of his passing. I do know that now he is celebrating in heaven. My prayers are for Mildred and their family.

I hated to hear about Bob passing, but I knew that he had been longing for heaven for a while. Now he has found that peace that he often sang about in church. When I hear the line in a song "Life's highway", I always think of the prayers that Bob prayed. Bob was a good man and a good friend to me and to Walter, and we will miss him. My prayer is for Ms. Mildred and the rest of the family. May God bless and keep you in his care.
In Christian Love,
Darlene and Walter Prewitt

Whenever I hear an old gospel hymn in my mind - the songs of my childhood - I hear them in the voice of Bob Snow. What always struck me about Bob's voice was its earnestness. It was real. He truly loved singing those songs and meant every word. Bob was always the same with every interaction I ever had with him, and there were many. He was always considerate and kind. He always cared. He was authentic. He was a great example for many of us who looked up to him as one who loved God, his family, and his community. His spirit lives on through his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren ... and through many, like me, who were lucky enough to know him.
Nikki and I send our thoughts to everyone in the family. God Bless
