Amos A. Snow II, 82, died on Sept. 29. Snow had a long career within the HVAC industry beginning in the 1960s at Detroit-based Bohn Aluminum and Brass with many stops along the way.

Known for his outlandish ties and suits, Snow was one of the original “East Texas Coilmen” and was associated with multiple coil shops in East Texas. Coils were in Snow’s DNA and the coilman tradition was carried forward by his daughter Cindy Snow-Hallock to her early death and his son Amos A. Snow III.
