Robert Nathaniel Snyder Jr., of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully at the age of 88. Born on June 3, 1937, in Philadelphia, he was the beloved son of the late Robert and Florence Snyder.

He is survived by his loving daughters, Banecza Mojica, Jessica Troche (Wilson Troche), and Holly Figueroa (Gianny Figueroa).

Here's to the cowboy now riding in the sky.
