Doug Maney Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 It is with sadness that I post this message. Snowy was a wealth of knowledge and offered his support whenever called upon. The ATCA and our members can be grateful for his contributions to Double Clutch where he shared a small portion of dwindling Mack history with us. A conversation with Snowy was filled with undocumented Mack historical facts that simply were a result of experience and a devotion to his work. The Antique Truck Club of America and Mack Truck enthusiasts worldwide mourn the passing of Snowy. Snowman W. Snowy Doe, 84, of Macungie, died April 30, 2008 in Lehigh Center. He was the husband of Edna M. (Schroder) Doe. They celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in June 2007. Born in Worcester, Mass., he was the son of the late Arthur W. and Gladys A. (Sprague) Doe. He worked for Mack Trucks for 37 years, retiring in September 1984 as Head of International Service Engineering. Upon retirement, he served as the curator of the Mack Truck Museum. He was a member of Faith Presbyterian Church, Emmaus. He was a 50-year member of Jerusalem Lodge 26 F.&A.M., Plainfield, N.J. where he served as Past Master, and was a member of the Rajah Shrine and the Allentown Consistory. He was a member of the Society of Automotive Engineers and was an active Boy Scouts leader. He honorably served his country with the 245th Combat Engineers in the European Theater with the 3rd Army. Survivors: Wife; son, Dr. Lawrence W. Doe and wife Patricia L. of Annapolis, Md.; daughters, Deborah E. Doe of Bristol, N.H. and Sally B. Urban of Emmaus; Sister, Barbara G.

Rob Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Always enjoyed speaking with him myself. Instumental in directing me on "where to go", (for parts) during my early days upon acquiring my "A" model, and several "B" models. All of the information I have on my trucks was procured by him. Always a joy to converse with and will be missed.R.I.P. SnowyRob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

57 bcr Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Sad to hear about Snowy. What else could be said about this great Mack "Ambassador". Very proud to have met him and to shake the hand of the legend himself. He was an all around great guy who could hardly wait (seemed like) for the next question or request for material to come his way. He was truly" family" to anyone who follows the Bulldog. He will be missed. Good Bye, Snowy... Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!
