Alix,
Don and I were so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. I wish there were more than words at a time like this because they're never enough.... or they're simply too much. Just know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Alix and the entire Snyder Family;
I was so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. It was so wonderful to get the chance to see you, Alix and Gary a couple of years back. You were both very important to my parents and I know they always held you both in high regard. Please accept my condolences and love.

Dr. Snyder was the first doctor I remember. He was always so funny with his little bow ties in the 70's & 80's. My family has stayed in contact with him throughout the years after leaving Ferndale Medical. He will surely be missed.

Alix, I'm so saddened to hear of Gary's passing. I fondly remember Gary through 25 years in Rotary together. He loved to say the blessings at our luncheons. He told the best joke I ever heard. I'll always treasure having had Gary as my friend.

I am so sad to hear of Gary's passing. He was a great physician with a wonderful bedside manner and a genuine caring attitude for his patients. Above all, he was a great human being and dear friend. I am glad my children had the privilege of being his patients. I will always remember his smile and his love and pride for his flowers. He is deeply missed.

Alix, Adam, and Liz. Our deepest sympathies. So many wonderful memories. From skiing at Mission Ridge to summers at Lake Chelan and all the times at Sandy Point. Gary always treated us like one of his own. Always will remember his unique and biting humor. Huge positive influence on my life. Alix, you epitomize the definition of unconditional love. Such a strong woman for the years when Gary needed you most. Great job at the service today Adam. Love you all. Scott and Rachel

So sorry to learn of Gary's passing. He was so good to our family some years ago when sickness and death came our way. Equally important, he became a friend because he was such a good person and skilled Doc. We feel blessed to have known him.
He's probably organizing a group to go fishin' or on a walk....
Condolences and support to you, Alix, and family.

Dr. Snyder was our family doctor once we moved to Ferndale. We missed him very much once he retired. He was a wonderful doctor and a happy person, we will miss him very much. Our thoughts to the family. The last time I seen him was in Costco about 1 year ago and I got a big hug from him.

I got to spend time working for Dr. Snyder in my Medical
Assistant program. We would race to SandyPoint at our lunch hour and he and his grand "new cars" beat me every time.

Alix, Adam, Liz,
I am so sorry for your loss. I feel like I grew up with Dr Snyder (Gary) for most of my life. He hired me to work at Ferndale Family Medical Center in 1971. I was able to work with Gary for 28 years. He was there for David and My wedding, attended the birth of our two sons and been a caring and fun person to work with. I have several fond memories of the picnics at the beach. His wonderful jokes and caring ways.

Alix, Liz and Adam and family,
I am so sorry to hear about Dr. Snyder. I have to tell you I loved working for him at Ferndale Medical Center. I always knew where I stood with him as an employee and I very much appreciated that. I also loved it when he would tell us stories about his internship, especially the one about delivering a baby on a kitchen table! And of course, the stories about his fish that he had stuffed and put on the wall! We had to book out extra time for patients because he had to walk them out and show off his fish! My heart goes out to you all and I will remember him as a wonderful man to work with!
