Mr. Snyder was my math teacher in seventh grade. He was one of my first male teachers and he soon became one of my favorite teachers. It wasn't long until I just knew he was a Christian man. He was so kind and a very good teacher. Math became fun when he was the teacher. My sympathies to his wife and family.

Mr. Snyder always had encouraging words when I was one of his students. His influence was the inspiration I needed to major in math in college.
Mr. Snyder was a great Christian man as I discovered many years later and I haltingly learned to call him Cliff. (Old habits are hard to break)
Cliff's love for the Lord was certainly the basis for his encouraging personality.
My deepest sympathies and prayers for comfort go out to Zula Mae and Cliff's friends and family.

Clifford was one of my all time favorite customers when I waited tables at the Summitt Family Rest. He always could make you laugh no matter what kind of day you had. He was such a sweet, kind and living man! I was always fascinated by the stories he would tell me about his teaching days and his family. I'm so sorry for the families loss. At least I know that he is in a good place and will be watching over all the people he loved.
