William Snook Obituary
William "Bill" M. Snook Sr., 69, of Reading passed away in his home on Friday, November 29, 2013.
He was the loving
husband of the late June P. (Ray) Snook, who passed away this year in August. The couple had been
married 51+ years.
Born in West Reading on October 28, 1944, he was the son of the late H. Francis and Mary Savilla (Rist) Snook. Bill was a U.S. Army veteran.
He was employed with CarTech as a band saw
operator for 29 years. Prior to that, he was employed with Dana Corp. as a general laborer for nine years.
Bill and his late wife, June, once owned and
operated Snook's Luncheonette before health issues permitted them from
doing so.
He was an avid race fan and a devoted fan of the Reading Buccaneers Drum and Bugle Corps and the
Turtle Club. Bill loved his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Bill is survived by two sons: Willaim "Bill" M. Snook Jr. and his wife, Amy, of Fleetwood; and Gregory A. Snook and his wife, Ramona, of Mohnton; a daughter, MaryBeth Emerich of
West Lawn; eight grand-children and two great-grandchildren, with two
on the way.
Services for Bill are
private and at the convenience of the family. Theo C. Auman Funeral Home, 247 Penn St., Reading, PA 19601 is entrusted with Bill's
arrangements. Bill's online guest book may be signed
or recorded at www.theocauman.com.
