It was a bit of showmanship - combined with an inquisitive spirit - that led to packed briefing rooms during his tenure, and some spirited sparring with reporters.
Tony Snow was treated for cancer a year before taking the job. Ten months into his tenure, the disease returned.
He left for about five weeks of treatment. When he came back, it was evident the disease was taking its toll. In September of last year, he resigned and called his last briefing.
"This job has been the most fun I have ever had, the most satisfying, fulfilling job. I am sorry I have to leave it. But I have got to say it has been a real honor and pleasure working with everybody in this room."
He got a standing ovation that day - not just in the press room, but from the entire White House staff.
Just hours after his passing, Vice President Dick Cheney taped an appearance on the television talk show Snow once hosted. He told the Fox News Sunday program that Tony Snow was a one-of-a-kind press secretary.
