Dick was such a kind, generous, creative, energetic, and inspiring presence. We’re so pleased we got to know him through our work creating the West Windsor Arts Council. Our condolences go out to the Snedeker family.

Condolences to the whole family as we all remember Dick and celebrate his rich life. He has left an amazing legacy! He and Mary Ellen were a wonderful couple, and each had a ready smile whenever and wherever we would see each other. Now they can smile together again. Blessings and love to the family.

Our prayers and sympathy to his family.
