Darwyn Verne "Tony" Snyder

Tony and his lovely wife, Joan, were neighbors and friends of my parents, JoAnn and Reno Pretti for over 20 years. They took dance lessons with a small group of close friends in Omaha and had a wonderful time. I will always remember them and their great family Anne Pretti Luter

Mr. Snyder gave me private clarinet lessons for about 6 years. He was tough but fair, the makings of a great teacher. My condolences.

I remember "Mr. Snyder" from my days as a student at Westside. He was very creative and demanded a lot - which was good. He was a very talented person who was very invested in his students.

My wife, Elaine, and I were very sad to hear of the passing of Tony Snyder. He was a good friend and mentor who was a wonderful part of my musical career. I had the honor of presenting my music for his excellent band as guest conductor at Omaha Westside, AkSarBen, and the very first musical presentation as a member of the Nebraska Wind Symphony. May God bless him, his wife, and his remaining family. Sincerely, Jim and Elaine Misner

Thank you for your Service May you be granted the Caisson of Honor to Carry you on your Honorable Journey of Peace

Thank you for your military service Ma

Mr. Snyder was my band director at Westside 1965-68. And one of my favorite teachers. He was good friends with Doc Severinson, and I still have the vinyl LP of his performance with the Westside Band in 1967.
