Richard Snyder Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Richard was a graduate of Northside High School, class of 1961. He was honorably discharged from the Air Force in 1961. Richard worked as a Machinist for Corning Inc., retiring in 2000 with 34 years of service. Richard was a man of strong faith and instilled that faith in his children. He was an avid Yankees baseball fan and the evening before his passing, they won by a landslide. He loved animals of all kinds and was a big fan of scratch off lottery tickets.
Richard is survived by his children: Shawn Snyder of Campbell, NY, Amanda Snyder of Corning, NY; grandchildren: Stephanie Jerome of Campbell, NY, Cassandra Snyder of Corning, NY; great grandchildren: Mariah and Kristian Eaton, Allen Jerome, Jr., Salice and Lovani Nkansah; nephew, Michael (Carmella) Baker of Horseheads, NY; and his cats, Leo and Midnight.
In addition to his parents, Richard was predeceased by his brother, Robert Snyder; and sister and brother-in-law, Barbara and Ivan Baker.
