As beautiful a human being as ever walked the planet.

I worked diligently @a free clothing/shoe ministry @the Dalton united Methodist church where I was blessed to have Stephen Sneed cross my path to come and get some free clothing, shoes and a few toys for the children in Africa. Rita Bennet and I enjoyed his stories. I had hoped to someday ask if I could go with him ina Journey there. He said shoes were like gold to the children for without shoes they weren´t allowed to go to school. He said he delivered the items personally for otherwise they...

Stephen was as loving a human being as ever walked the planet.

No more loving human being ever walked the planet. Anyone who did not love this man, wasn't paying attention.

If you did not love this man, you weren't paying attention. As beautiful and loving a soul as ever walked the planet.

I've never met anyone who possessed more purity in his compassion and love for people. His courage was breathtaking. He was my friend. I love him very much. Missing him hurts. I send all love and kindness to his wife and children. (He loved them beyond the reach of words.) There is less integrity and love without Stephen in the world. (And, we both lived in and loved Brooklyn, NY!)

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Sneed's family.. Stephen and I shared many good times together at Washington State University in Pullman, WA. And, so did our families as our kids attended school and played together there. Stephen and his wife Francis were excellent and dedicated educators. With us he will always be remembered.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Sneed and family. Just learned of Dr. Sneed's death. I'm so sorry for your loss. He was a gentle man.

If a single life could prove the existence of a loving God, it was Stephen's. My love and compassion to Frances and Family.
