Still such a memorable man, as we come up on the two year mark morning the loss of Alvin Snyder. Powerful man, skillful when talking to others, and very caring and generous to his family. I was lucky enough to know him for 18 years of my life. Long live Alvin Snyder.

I was so sadden by the recent loss of Al Snyder. My deepest sympathy to the entire Snyder family.
In 1970, I had the pleasure of working with Al during the time he worked for
Herb Klein in the Communications Department at the Old Executive Office Building
He was creative, forward thinking and brought an enormous amount of expertise to reworking the communications process at the Nixon White House.
He was a consummate professional and will be missed by all.
With deepest sympathy,

I only had the chance to interact with Al a couple of times when he was writing his USC blog. He was such a nice person and I always looked forward to our calls and meetings. My deepest condolences to his family.
