Clyde Snyder Obituary
Manchester Twp. - Clyde R. Snyder, age 80, of Manchester Township, Manchester, passed away Saturday evening, July 11, 2020 after a long hospitalization. He was the husband of the late Bonita A. "Bonnie" Snyder.
Born January 29, 1940 in York, a son of the late Victor E. and Kathryn M. (Zeigler) Snyder, he was a US Marine Veteran. He was the owner and operator of The Data Patch in York, and was a member of Mount Zion United Church of Christ.
Mr. Snyder is survived by two daughters, Katie L. Lentz, and her husband Russ, of York, and Cherie M. Scarpato, and her wife Jeanine; one son, Joel R. Snyder, and his wife Jayne, of York; six grandchildren; and one great grandchild. He is also preceded in death by a brother, Victor Snyder.
The Celebration of Life service that Clyde wanted is difficult to achieve in these challenging times. Because of that, in hopes of honoring his wishes, Clyde's family has decided that his Celebration of Life service and gathering will be postponed until it is safer for people to gather together. Though we will not be formally holding his service, there will be a time of visitation, and the opportunity to share memories in the parking lot of Mt. Zion United Church of Christ (UCC) on Saturday, July 25th from 10 AM to 1 PM and Tuesday, July 28th from 6 PM to 8 PM. During those times, we will have tables and canopies set up in the parking lot where those who loved Clyde can come and record or write a memory that will be shared on his Facebook page, a testimony to the impact he had on so many. There will also be the opportunity to offer condolences to Clyde's family, if you choose. We will be honoring social distancing and ask that you adhere to the signage and instructions provided so that all can participate in a way that helps them to feel safe while expressing their grief and support. If you are unable to stop by during either of these times, we encourage you to share memories/stories by contacting Mt. Zion UCC at 1054 Ridgewood Road, York PA 17402. Workinger Semmel Funeral Homes and Cremation, 849 East Market Street, York, is in charge of arrangements.
Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice and Community Care, 235 St. Charles Way, Suite 250, York, PA 17402.

Clyde is often thought of here. That's just the way he was, you never forget a good man. I miss our cigar conversations.

One of the finest men I have ever had the honor of associating with, working for, and as a friend.
US Marine, business owner, religious, caring sharing man.
Greatly missed as I type this.

Curious in that just yesterday I was thinking about Clyde and now the alert from the site.
Such a "good man" and I will always remember his excellence.

Found out about Clyde's passing recently (it is now October). Clyde gave me my first job when I moved to York in 1985. A man of his word and someone who'd give you the shirt off his back. We maintained our business relationship and friendship up to the end. Up to 2018 when I moved away, I still backed him up when he needed computer systems coverage in York. My last talk with him was roughly July as I now live in Tennessee. We had many a dinner at his place there on Church Road, and then at the new house off Susquehanna Trail. He and I always enjoyed a good cigar on the deck. We also rode motorcycle together. Bonnie too ! Bonnie and he were kind of halves of the same soul. My last phone call with him he mentioned how badly he missed her. What a man. An honorable, good man. Rugged but sweet, honest, Christian soul.

Our relationship went from teacher to us becoming friends and eventually family. I will always appreciate all of the long talks that we had. Those motorcycle rides will always hold a special place in my heart. Sleep in peace pop!

I will miss you, Clyde. The motorcycle trips were the best with Cherie, you and Bonnie. But you are not allowed to ride in Heaven without training wheels! ❤

t was always such a pleasure to see Clyde at Crossfire3 shows. I was privileged enough to sit with Clyde a few times, sharing conversation, a drink and enjoying the show.
Clyde will be missed and my prayers and thoughts are with his family and friends at this time of loss.

Clyde, you will be missed! Thank you for treating us like family from day 1 and always making us feel welcome and loved. I always knew that if I was coming to a gathering with you and Bonnie there, it was going to be a great time. Thank you for some wonderful memories over the last 9 years! I'm sure Bonnie is thrilled to have you back ❤
