To the Snyder family: I've been thinking for days for the words to say about Charlie and the lost it is for his passing, but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to say. I know that I don't need to say on how much of a great husband, father, grandfather and provider he was as I seen all the hours he has put in work. Charlie was a coworker of mine and over a very short time we became very good friends. He and I found out just how much of a small world it is when we would talk. He had worked with my father (Bob) for all the years he worked at Fords. My mother (Joan) worked with a couple of the kids at Russell Sage Collage. Even though we did not grow up together, we knew so many of the same people. What a small world. We sometimes shared the same QC office and I could just go on and on about times working with him.. When I heard the passing of Charlie, I knew I just lost a very good friend. He was a very special kind of person and I'm glad to of know him. My heart goes out to the family. R.I.P. My Friend!

To the entire family: I've known Charlie for so many years. I considered him one of my great friends. He introduced me to his whole family and gave me the pleasure to do the music for his daughters wedding. He was a great dad, husband and grandfather. I will miss him at all the concerts that I saw him at. The angels will be singing for him now. God bless you all. We lost a great man. Terry Film

Family.
We are saddened to hear of your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers to give you strength to cope
with your loss of your loved one.
Charlie left a void in most every one he came in contact with. I used to work with him (Honeywell) and even when you didn't feel good he would say something or do something to make you smile, and when he didn't he was the same..Yes, he will certainly be missed..RIP

It is always sad to see anybody pass away, but Charlie was one of a kind! I was always amazed on how he and his wife raised 12 children in South Troy and what a great job they did. If anything, Charlie, you left your legacy in all these children. You did a good job with raising them. Colleen and you can both be proud. It's not easy to keep track of four children, much less twelve but you two did it! Colin has been in my house several times and he has always been very respectful. I know you know this because we have talked about it at the games. Now Colin is a father and hopefully he can be half the father you were, I see him doing a great job already, you can be proud of him. May you find the peace and have no more suffering in heaven. I am sure there is a pool table with your name on it! You will be forever missed by all of us in South Troy. It must be true, only the good die young! I will still look for you to be standing outside on Tyler St to wave to you or when I stop at Stewerts to say hi to you. May you rest in peace, my friend!!!
