Tom Snyder Dies at 71

Monday, July 30th, 2007
Tom Snyder, who pioneered the late-late network TV talk show with a personal yet abrasive style and his robust, trademark laugh, has died from complications associated with leukemia. He was 71.

Snyder died Sunday in San Francisco, his longtime producer and friend Mike Horowicz told The Associated Press on Monday.

“Tom was a fighter,” Horowicz said. “I know he had tried many different treatments.”

I always really enjoyed listening to and watching Tom and sad to see him go. I am sure he is in a better place, free from the agony of his illness.
