Donald Snider Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Music was Don's lifelong passion and career. A talented bassoonist and pianist, Don was a high school music teacher for decades, first in Jersey Shore, PA and later at Liberty High School in Bethlehem. During his tenure at Liberty his Christmas Vespers became extremely popular, drawing audiences from as far as Philadelphia.
Don was a kind, joyous person with an infectious laugh. His family will treasure memories of the many Christmas Eve gatherings at which he happily played the piano and was loved by all. In addition to his love of music he enjoyed weekend trips to Philadelphia in his younger years and later visits to Rehoboth Beach.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brother, Jack, and sister-in-law, Karen. He is survived by two nephews, Todd (Moira) of Newark, Delaware and Kipp (Brenna) of Arlington, Virginia, as well as extended family.
A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, October 11, in the Pearson Funeral Home, 1901 Linden Street, Bethlehem. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to the Liberty High School Music Department for a scholarship.

I remember Don from my years at Liberty High School. I would run into him at The Lehigh Valley Mall occasionally and we would sit and chat for awhile. He always had a funny story to tell and certainly had an infectious laugh.I also remember going to his concerts at Liberty. He was an excellent musician and and chorus leader.
I´m sure he will be dearly missed.
RIP Don
