Dear Daddy,
It has been a year since you passed away and I miss you so much. It is weird for me to sitting here, writing this knowing that you've been gone for a whole year. I still can't believe that you're gone. Most days aren't too hard but sometimes I miss you soo much that I have to cry. I try to be strong daddy, I really do, but it's hard sometimes. I just want you to know that I loved and love you with all of my heart and that I am so proud to be your daughter. I am so grateful to the Lord that you and only YOU and mommy brought me into this world. I could not wish for a better father. I know that someday I will see you again in heaven but until that day, I love you and I miss you!

To the Snyder family;
I met Doug years ago through Cindy Schumaker. Doug always had a positive attitude and a great outlook on life. He was always there when you needed him and I'll miss the conversations we used to share. He will truly be missed by my family and myself. My condolences go out to you for your loss.

Thinking of you at this time of pure loss.
I knew Doug, only through Sheila's eyes, as
a loving father and a wonderful person.
You have my deepest sympathy.

Dear Sarah and Neale, I was sorry to hear of your recent loss. Unfortunately, I only knew Doug through the stories Sheila shared with me and from those stories I learned how your father certainly loved you and was extremely proud of both of your accomplishments. Please take care of all the wonderful memories. Always,

I will always have fond memories of Doug. He was my neighbor growing up and our parents were great friends. I'll never forget him teaching me how to turn my eyelids inside-out, playing baseball on the field he mowed behind our houses and the time he babysat the Adams kids. The phone rang and we decided to bang all the pots and pans so he couldn't hear. Well, it backfired on us because it ended up being our mom on the other end. She was not happy. Doug always had the greatest laugh and a twinkle in his eye. He will be missed. Sarah, Neale, Pam and Dr. Snyder you are in my thoughts and prayers

Rewinding Doug's infectious laugh in my mind makes me smile as I recall the many memories I have of our 35 year friendship. He was a rare guy with a tremendous heart. He won't be forgotten.

Jane, Sarah, Neale, and Dr. Snyder, we mourn the passing of a wonderful man with you. Doug was a top notch attorney, great friend, and good man. We are blessed to have been able to share our lives with him.

I was very sadden upon hearing about Doug's passing. I will always remember the tall, nice looking man with the thick grey hair. We often joked about his tatoo's (which he knew I disapproved) but he was always one for a good laugh. I know he was very proud of his daughters. It showed in his eyes and smile. I believe that Doug was the only conservative free spirit I ever knew.
Those in heaven are blessed with his company. I will always think of him as a friend.

For the family of Doug Snyder,
Though I only new Doug through my Aunt, he always welcomed me as his friend. Years ago he took me to buy a horse in Kentucky, at Tu Doc farms; I had that farm's card in my wallet for years, so that I could remember a wonderful day. Thank you again Doug...and love to your family.

I'm the brother of a good friend of Doug's..Jay Ball. Jay and his wife Susan are out of the country. I know Jay will be saddened about Doug's passing and dissapointed he was unable to attend Doug's services and be with Doug's family and friends during this difficult time. We lived down the street from the Snyders for many years....Doug will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to the Snyder family. I was a friend of Doug's starting back in the late 60's, sharing long summers at Stouffer's University Inn. We stayed in touch over the years and I will miss him. (Sarah and Neale, you may remember staying with your dad on my boat at Lake Erie a few years ago).

Dear Sarah and Neale,
Your dad was one of my two oldest friends. We met when we were only 10 years old. Doug lived on one side of Kenny Rd. and I lived on the other side. We spent much of our childhoods swimming and playing tennis together at the Swim & Racquet Club, and autumns and winters shooting baskets, tossing the football around, having snowball fights and getting into the kind of mischief that kids get into. We kind of lost track of each other a few years after college, but reconnected about 15 years ago. It was just like no time went by at all. That's the mark of good friends. Your dad was one of my very best friends and I'll always have him in my heart. You two should know that your dad loved you very much and was so proud of you. I will be in Florida today, and won't be able to make it to Ohio to say goodbye to Doug, but I'll be there in spirit. I hope you and your mom will stay in touch with me...

Jane, Sarah, Neale and all of Doug's family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. Our memories of Doug from both Victorian Village and Yankee Street stretch through the years, and we will always think of him so fondly. He is someone who will be greatly missed.

As my brother, Brendan, stated earlier, The Ryans always felt that Doug was a part of our family. We met in the 70's and whenever we would come back to Ohio for highschool or family reunions, we would always call Doug. (or as I called him "Doug Ann"...he called me "Taco"...who knows why ?)
Last month I was going through family pictures and came across one of Doug on his 19th birthday....opening presents...I will definitely pass these on to Sarah and Neale.
Sarah and Neale, you had a great Dad !

Dear Sheila and Doug's family,
I only met him once, but from that one meeting, I know his time with us was a blessing. In my mind's eye, I can still see his "big smile", and you probably can too. That's a cherished gift he gave us.

Dear Jane, girls and Dr. Snyder. Doug, too, was in my life for a very long time through Denny Dicke. He was one of the "best" and we always had a good time together. I was shocked to hear of his passing and hope and pray that he did not suffer.

My family got to know Doug so well that he really became part of our family. As the years went by- we saw him less and less. But he made such an impact on me that I really missed him, just recently I was thinking about him. Few people had his intellect, wit, and heart -what a big heart! I don’t know Sheila- but she hit the nail on the head – he was the most extraordinary person I’ve ever met.

Dear Jane, Neile, Sarah, Sheila,
We were blessed for a long time with lots of laughter, and fun on Yankee Street! The White House on the corner, and the Horses grazing in the yard was the first sign that a wonderful day was to come. From Victorian Village Days, to Hoover, we all have been blessed with lots of happiness many people never come close to experiencing. Doug was a big part of those Days. You all have my deepest sympathy, and are in my thoughts and Prayers.

You all are in my thoughts and prayers. It was an honor to talk some baseball with Doug not too long ago.

Cousin's are like a flock of bird's.When there young they nest together and enjoy great times.As they get older they spread there wing's and rarely ever cross in flight, then one day 1 is taken from the flock to go to a higher cloud and the flock becomes 1 less. Doug was a terrfic cousin and I wished that we could have spent more time together.He will be greatly missed.

Someone once said, "To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die." Those who knew Doug could never forget him, and he shall live on in our memories, in spirit, in Neale and Sarah, and in the stories we remember and share about him. Let us celebrate his life now and always. With much care,

Dear Jane, Sarah, and Neale-
I wanted to write and tell you how sorry I was to hear that Doug had passed away. When I last visited Ohio in mid-September, I had the opportunity to have dinner with Doug and Neale. We had a great time. Doug was telling us about Sarah going off to college in California and he and Neale were entertaining us with stories about Neale's school. Your family is in my thoughts.
Love Sheila Mullen

Dear Jane:
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family in the loss of Doug. I remember him very well on my visits to Ohio. He was always a very pleasant person to me and Sheila's children. I also remember standing by the hedge watching the horses; and I fondly recall Sarah coming to play with Evan. I did not know Neale, but Sheila often spoke of how proud Doug was of his daughters.
My prayers are with you Jane.

Dear Jane, Sarah, Neale and family:
Please accept our sympathy regarding Doug's death. I know he was a good and loyal friend to Sheila, Eamonn & Evan. I remember visiting Sheila, Lee and family when all of your children were very young and Yankee Way was a self-contained world with Rob,Linda and her family, your family, and Sheila's family--a very lovely palce to be. I saw him when I visited last year around the time of Sarah's graduation. He was so proud of his daughters. I am so sorry that he died so young.
