Stephanie, sending my deepest condolences to you and your family. I remember clearly Mr. Snelgroves passion for history and hockey! He was such a mild spoken man who never rushed you away when there was something you didnt understand. He'd always sit on the desk and was a wealth of knowledge on the world wars! Reflecting on memories can certainly make us grateful for the people we have had in our lives.

Bridie and family,
Both Judy and I were saddened to learn of Vernon's passing. You recall that Vernon and I shared a room at St. Clare's Hospital last June. I had not seen him since I retired in 2003 and was suprised to learn of his condition.
I found Vernon to be as quiet and humble a man as you could meet. He was a fine colleague to work with and was well respected by all his fellow colleagues and students,as evidenced by the condolences posted.
Please accept our deepest condolences.
Karl and Judy Janes.

Mr. Snelgrove was an integral part of the highlights of my junior and senior high school hockey career. I have always treasured those memories and have spent much of the past few days reminiscing.
My condolences to Bridie, Sheldon, Stephanie, Steven, and all your families. You are not alone in your grief.

Please accept our most sincere condolences at Vernon's passing. Remember the precious happy times you have spent with Vernon.
You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Bridie and family: News reached us about the death of Vernon's body. It was painful to hear. When we think of you weeping, we are "deeply moved in spirit and troubled" (John 11:33). Vernon was meticulous and methodically about all he set his mind to do. He strove for perfection. We remember him from periods of the 1970s and 80s. He was a competitive participant in sports. As a teacher he inspired students and colleagues to develop into their inherent goodness. I leave you with a verse from Were the Lost Things Go: “Memories you've shared; Gone for good you feared; They're all around you still; Though they've disappeared; Nothing's really left; Or lost without a trace; Nothing's gone forever; Only out of place.”

He was very giving of his time and very kind. It was an honour to coach you Sheldon for those years. They were great times and we created awesome memories. Vernon loved seeing all his players succeed on the ice. It was my honour to coach along side you.
