In Memoriam Chris Snow, NHL executive and ‘beacon of hope’ for those with ALS, dies at 42

I thought that due to his local connections and his work at the Boston Globe, this deserved it's own thread. His family needs prayers now, such an awful disease.

That disease scares the living daylights out of me.

I hope the league does something to honor him and his courageous battle.

Can’t fathom what that family has been going through.

This hits close to home. My older brother had ALS. He passed in 2015 after 5 years of hell. It is a terrible disease. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. May he find peace now

Thank you. He was 52. He was 2 years older then me and was my best friend. Miss him everyday

That man is a fighter like few I've ever observed. Looks like the disease has finally got the best of him.

God bless.

It's awful to see a loved one slowly die in front of you.

Heroic and an inspiration indeed.

 

[Gee Wally]

Just horrific disease.

My youngest son was granted a Fellowship at a large Boston biotech leading a Clinical group on treatments for ALS.

Maybe someday…………….

Like many of you I have been following Chris's updates via his wife Kelsie for quite some time now. Following their story.

Im heartbroken for them... For his wife and for his young kids.

What strength Chris showed us all. And may he now rest after such a long battle.

What a fantastic piece by John Tomase

"I'll never forget a young Snow leaning over a recalcitrant Manny Ramirez when the latter wasn't speaking to the media and whispering that he needed to man up and stop making his teammates answer for his indiscretions. A superstar nearly 10 years his senior, all Manny mustered in response was a quiet, "OK," but Snow could not have given less of an eff.

"Someone needed to say it," he said with a shrug and of course a smile. He wasn't in this business to make friends."

Rest in peace Chris Snow.

Rest in Peace Chris.
Peace to your family.

A friend of mine had her life saved by a lung transplant last week. I deeply admire your decision to donate.
