Dennis Michael Snee

I was distressed to (belatedly), see that Dennis has passed on. Our time in the Air Force overlapped, and I remember him as an extremely kind, capable and funny guy. "Crash" (don't ask), was a decent human. After all these years, he is remembered and missed.

Dennis was such a sweet man. But as I worked with him in television, I also knew him as a very funny one too. One Saturday night, back around 1986, at Greg and Xiomara Fields´ house, Dennis and Trudy Snee and Eva and I were there for a night of laughs and dinner.

The highlight of the evening was when Greg brought out a scale.

He wanted to see whose head weighed more, mine or Dennis´.

Each of us in turn lay down on the living carpet, Greg put the scale underneath our heads and pronounced our head weight.

The result. Greg ruled that while Dennis´ head was wider, mine was longer and they both weighed the same. I'm still laughing about that over 35 years later. When I was with Dennis, we always laughed.

You were a genius Dennis. Only one of you born. RIP and send your wisdom to us...

I served with Lieutenant Snee at McConnell Air Force base in Wichita, Kansas. I worked many times with the Lieutenant in a Titan 2 missile complex in which he was the MCCC (Missile combat crew commander). He was a very nice officer and an excellent commander. He was a very fun guy to work with and had a marvelous sense of humor. I still have found memories of working with this man in the military all these many 43 years ago. God rest your soul Lieutenant.

I had the privilege of working with Dennis on "The Tonight Show;" his talent and wit added SO much to the show and his kindness, decency and soothing presence helped stabilize things during a very turbulent time. I am not sure Dennis ever fully realized the impact he made. My favorite memory of Dennis was a lunch we had with Johnny after the Great Man retired. We had many laughs that day and Dennis said some very hilarious stuff. Later, we agreed few things in this life were as pleasurable as making Johnny Carson laugh, although Dennis quickly listed several other things that were "almost" as pleasurable...none I can possibly share here.
Funny, droll, multi/mega talented, kind, loyal,
loving family man, respected by all who knew him AND movie star handsome! God never gives one man EVERYTHING, but he gave Dennis Michael Snee a very generous helping of "damned-near" EVERYTHING! I wish blessings to his family he loved so very much. There is a passage in an old song about the ould sod which fits Dennis so well: " He knew how to use the lilt of Irish laughter to make the angels sing."
Have the most glorious journey, good man.

I was so Blessed to have known Dennis for many years. He was not only funny, but was so kind and compassionate to so many people.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.
He will be truly missed!

Ashley, John and the entire Snee family I'm so sorry for your loss. All though I met him way back when we were in highschool he sounds like an incredible man, father, husband, grandfather and friend. Sending all my love to you all Tina Estright Xoxo

Dennis will forever hold a place in our hearts. He was a good man through and through. We consider ourselves blessed to have been his friend. God bless and keep you Dennis. Much love,Susan and Curtis Bryant

Just so much laughter...and nothing better than when we were all together with the legendary Mr. Fields. God speed, Dennis. Love, David ("The Longest Head")

He was such a wonderful man and a terrific neighbor. We will miss him so much.

Had to be the nicest guy in Hollywood, not just one of the funniest.
