BREWERTON, NY - David L. Snyder, 82, of Brewerton, NY; went home to the Lord on Friday January 31, 2025. Born in Syracuse on July 30, 1942, he was raised in Brewerton and lived in Liverpool, until settling back in Brewerton. He also enjoyed the winter months in his home in Venice, FL for many years.
Dave was a 1960 graduate from Paul V. Moore High School in Central Square, NY. He received the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education from The State University of NY College at Brockport, a Master of Science in Health Education from Syracuse University, and a C.A.S from the State University of NY College at Oswego.
Dave retired after working at Chestnut Hill Middle School in Liverpool after 35 years, he started as a physical education teacher, but most of the years as a health education teacher, and as an acting principal for 1 year. Dave put his heart and soul into his job as a teacher and just adored his students. On his free time after school he enjoyed working with people to help plan their cruise vacations through Cruises Inc. and helped other travelers plan their vacations through Salt City Tour and Travel and Premiere Travel.
Dave loved to travel, he went many places with his family and friends, he loved camping and having campfires, and enjoyed spending time at his "Lake House" in Lakeport on Oneida Lake, with his family and friends. Dave just enjoyed being near the water and enjoyed watching the sunset. He loved to fish and in his earlier years he was an avid hunter. Anywhere with his family is where he felt the most joy as he gave to us as well.
