MRS PAT SNYDER,

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Coach Snyder. I was out of town for a while and found out when I got home. Coach was the finest Man,Teacher and Coach any High School Kid could know. I am so glad he received the recongitation he deserved at the PHS Alumni gathering last year. Meeting you and coach after such a long time was very moving to me.

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

GOD HAS BLESSED COACH SNYDER

Mrs. Pat Snyder: Coach Snyder was a special man to me when I was a high schooler who aspired to play football. I have cherished the memories of those days at Parkland. I am so happy that we had the opportunity to revisit those times with Hony last September. There is an added dimension to my respect for him because I know that my sister, Cathy, has told me that he made her a lover of history as a teacher. What a guy! I hope the loss you must feel is somewhat tempered by the good memories you must have. L

Dear Bruce & Karen, Our deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you and your family on the loss of Raymond. From what I read about him, he was an awsome coach and well respected person. May God bless him and receive him into his home in heaven. We will pray for your father as you have prayed for our son Nick. They are both together now looking down and protecting us.

God Bless You.

Dear Pat and family,

We are very saddened to hear that our friend and neighbor, Ray (Hony), has passed away.

It's so easy to remember him smiling, talking softly, laughing, walking the dog, and just strolling over to visit with us.

All of your family were great neighbors and friends. We always hoped to see you and Hony again. We are truly sorry we missed the chance.

Our sincere condolences to you and to Danny, Kristen, Andrew and Bruce.

We fondly remember.

Dear Pat and family, We extend our deepest sympathies on Hony's passing. I (Pepper) have many great memories from when I was young. He was one of my heroes. I especially remember when he and Pat married. I thought it was so romantic (of course I was a teenager and everything was romantic). Thinking of all of you. Love, Pepper and Es

I knew my uncle Raymond as "Hony" and my fondest memories of him began as a kid 7 years his junior watching him play football for Allentown High School. He was part of one of the greatest winning streaks in that time when AHS could fill the than new bowl with 20,000 fans on a Friday night.

He instilled in me such a love and respect for the game that 60 years later I still prefer high school games to college or the pros and am rarely found elsewhere on a Saturday afternoon.

I'm sure that there a thousands of former players and students who grew up to be fine citizens because of their exposure to Uncle Hony.

With Love,

Leon
