David SNOW Obituary





SNOW, David Lee

David Lee Snow, 53, of Hebron passed away on November 1, 2012 after a stroke while vacationing in Florida. Born in Hartford on April 28, 1959, he was the son of Kenneth and Norma (Ford) Snow of Elmwood. He wed his beloved wife Darlene (McNaughton) Snow on October 3, 1981 in Elmwood. Dave was self-employed for most of his career, building his company in Hebron known as Snows Lawn Care & Stamped Concrete. When he was young he earned the rank of Eagle Scout and later enjoyed the many trips and lasting friendships of his son's Eagle Scout Boy Scout Troop 28. Dave loved to volunteer and showed this in many ways. He coached for 11 years with the HYBSA. In 2003 Dave became the first "Hebron's Most Beautiful Person" for a fundraising event. He was a member of the Sons of The American Legion in Hebron. He also was a long time member of the Hebron Lions Club. He enjoyed camping, snowmobiling, jet skiing and spending time with his family and friends. Dave will be remembered as a fun, loving person who was always ready to lend a helping hand. In addition to his wife Darlene of 31 years, he leaves his daughter, Linda and her husband David Bedini, Jr. of Columbia; a son, Christopher Snow of Hebron; two beautiful grandsons, David Bedini, III and Sawyer Bedini; a brother, Alan Snow and his wife Janet; his mother-in-law, Violet McNaughton; two nieces, Laurie Snow, Melissa Hlasyszyn and her husband Robert, their children; and numerous extended family and friends.
Calling hours will be held on Friday, November 16 from 4 - 7 p.m. at the Aurora-McCarthy Funeral Home, 167 Old Hartford Rd, Colchester. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 17 at 10 a.m. at Aurora-McCarthy Funeral Home. Donations in his memory may be made to the Hebron Vol. Fire Dept., 44 Main St., Hebron, CT 06248.

Darlene, Linda & David, Chris,

Our hearts are filled with sadness for you. We think of you so often. Today someone asked me about you, and my mind immediately thought about some funny, wonderful story I was going to hear about the Snow family, the Bedini family, but then the news I did hear...words cannot even begin to express our sorrow. May your memories provide the peace and comfort you need to get through. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I am saddened to hear of David's passing. David was a good friend during our times at Conard High and beyond. I think we were all hanging out together when he met Darlene, and perhaps Darlene remembers me. Although David and I eventually lost touch I have good memories of our friendship. It's wonderful to hear that David and Darlene sustained their bond for so many years. My condolences, thoughts and prayers to Darlene, their children Linda and Christopher, their grandchildren and the rest of David's family and close friends. I offer the thought that in your good memories David will live on, as he will in the hearts of those whose lives he touched, and in the good things he left behind.
