A trust fund has been established for the children of former White House spokesman and Fox News commentator Tony Snow, who died in July about a long bout with cancer.

Snow cut his teeth as an editorial writer at the old Greensboro Record and was a class act throughout his career.

“He was lanky, funny, a bushy-haired kid who looked more like a college sophomore than an editorial writer,” wrote our colleague, Rosemary Roberts, about Snow, who was working at the paper full time when Snow arrived here, fresh out of Davidson College.

“But Tony was smart and had a fine feel for words.”

According to the PR Newswire, the fund has been created at the Wachovia Bank in Bowie, Md., to help pay for the college educations of Snow’s three children, Kendall, Robbie and Kristi .Tony’s wife, Jill Snow, will serve as the trustee.

Said J. Randy Evans, the grantor of the trust: "Serving our country at times means sacrifice. Tony did just that. At a time when he was at the pinnacle of his career at Fox News, he was asked to serve his country and he gave up the financial rewards his future held. Having served his country well, Tony left the White House to earn money to help secure his children's future. Unfortunately, fighting cancer did not give him much time to do that, and so, the purpose of this trust is to help achieve Tony's goal of securing his children's future, including their college educations."
