Not sure what to say?

Harry was an excellent attorney and a good friend to all who knew him. A gentleman to the end, his sense of humor was ever present in conversation. He had the respect of all members os the Saratoga Bar and the judiciary.

I will miss my uncle Harry very much. My father always called him “Uncle Happy.” As a kid, I asked dad, “why do you call him uncle happy?” He said, “He’s always happy.” I think, “he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast (PR 15:15b KJV). Uncle Harry was of a merry heart!

Harry Snyder was a truly distinguished member of the Saratoga Springs community. Though a prominent Democrat, he was willing and able to work with Republican colleagues. He and his late wife Helen were good friends, and we cherish their memories, particularly their political involvement and the times we spent at the race track.

My condolences to the Snyder family and to Dave and Madison. I worked for Mr. Snyder from 1964 to 1966, He was one of my first bosses right out of high school. I loved working with him, Mr. Ted Grey and Mr. John Slade. It was a wonderful experience. Since that time I met Harry here at Prestwick Chase where be both resided. Some great memories. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

It was an honor to know this kind and generous man. Precious memories of working together on racing projects for the state and city. He is now with his beloved Helen, with whom he hosted wonderful Saratoga parties at their Grand Avenue home. Blessings to his family.

Thoughts and prayers for the entire Snyder family, sorry for your loss
