Yes, but (1) deaf was obsolete by the 14th century and (2) it couldn't possibly be the ancestor of dove anyway; the vocalism doesn't work out.
Sneak is another arguable case, although not the one I had in mind. There was an OE snican but the forms don't agree and the modern verb is strong from the first attestation. It's most likely a strong verb gone weak.
