Philip Jon “Butch” Snow, age 73, passed away peacefully at his residence on Thursday, January 13, 2022. Butch was born on May 11, 1948 in Soperton, WI to Phil and Ina (Ball) Snow. He married the love of his life, Barbara A. Apmann on May 13, 1967 in Tess Corners, WI.
Phil and Barb had the fairy tale marriage every couple hopes for. They were going on 55 years of marriage. Life wasn’t always easy, but it was always full of love. They were best friends and each other’s soulmates. He served in the Vietnam War in the Air Force. They were blessed with two beautiful children, 5 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. When someone mentioned them, he would beam with pride. He was such a proud Dad and Grandpa. Phil loved working in his workshop, building things for his yard and house. He loved NASCAR and was Dale Earnardt’s biggest fan.
Phil and Barb never said good-bye. It was always “See ya later”. To his daughter it was always “Love ya love ya”.
Survivors include his wife of 54 years, Barb; his children, Jeff Snow of England and Jennifer (Shawn) Questad of Waterford; his 5 grandchildren, Claire, Michael, Emily, Cassandra and Dylan; his 2 great-grandchildren, Violet and Albert; other relatives and many friends.
