On Valentine’s Day 1987 Johp Snead married Mary Quaintance. He was 80, she was 81 and had been a widow for 15 years. “He said I was his oldest friend,” Mary Snead said. They went to Florida for the winter and returned to Rappahannock with the warm weather.
“He was devoted to his patients and devoted to his family,” Judge Snead said.
