Henry Snow, 74
Florence
It is with heavy hearts that we, the family, announce the passing of Henry Snow on Tuesday, November 1, 2016, at the age of 74, following a year-long battle with cancer. He died peacefully at home, with his loving family by his side. He will always be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend.
Born in Florence on August 3, 1942, he was the son of the late George and Emmaline (Young) Snow.
Henry spent his early career working at CN and on the Great Lakes as a wheelsman. He spent most of his career working for Devco, and his retirement years working in security at the Northside General. Henry was not only a lovely husband, father and brother, but was a dedicated and hardworking soul who spent his life providing for his family.
For anyone who had the good fortune to hear his whistle, see his smile or shake his hand, please know that he enjoyed every moment he spent with his family and friends, and that he took great pride in his work. He was loved by everyone who had the privilege of knowing or caring for him.
He is survived by his loving and caring family; wife Sandra (Barrie), daughter Dawn (Joseph) Reid, and their son Joseph Jr.; Suzanne (Wayne) Cholock, and their daughters Cassandra and Brooke; Michelle (Leigh) Pursey, and their sons Noah and Henry; daughter Hannah “Angel”(Jeff) McKay, and their kids Ben and Olivia. He is also survived by siblings Joey (Joan) Snow, Daniel (Sandra) Snow, Ezra (Paula) Snow, and Linda (David) Maxwell.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his daughter Crystal, and brother Gordon.
The family would like to thank Dr. Michel McKeough, Louise McKeough, Dr. J. Ritter, Cathy MacMillan RN, and the palliative care team, and the VON nurses. Each delivered comfort and care.
Cremation has taken place. There will be no funeral service. His family will receive visitors in the J. M. Jobes Funeral Home, 635 Main St., Sydney Mines, on Friday, November 4, 2016, from 6-9 p.m. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.jmjobesfuneralhome.com
