Snyder Jr. finally passed away on February 15, 2024 at age 83, he was on hospice for the better part of 4 years and we are all so glad he has made it to the other side! He was born the eldest son of the late Ida Harlan Lefevre Snyder and Wilson Snyder Sr. on June 26, 1940. He grew up on the family farm in West Virginia where the family’s fondest memories are from. He attended Northwood High School in Silver Spring, MD, graduating with the class of 1958. He worked hard most of his life climbing the corporate ladder to upper management. During his career he worked as an executive for Hewlett Packard and always had the premier technology available around; including computers, newfangled printers, cameras, and T.V.’s. He loved showing off to his grandchildren in the American History Museum where he could point out the old computers he used to work on with the vacuum tubes. He lived in California for the majority of his adult life, returning home for the holidays and family get togethers. He moved to Naples, FL in the early 2000’s where he made memories with Dotty, taking numerous cruises having all around general good times. Naples was the best of his years, and he did it all! Wilson will be remembered as a music man. He loved music. He had the most incredible collection of music on vinyl, 8 tracks, cassette tapes and CD’s, which he took the time to digitize during his retirement, all of it, and it’s amazing! In his younger years he would go to the live shows in and around Washington, DC and was known to spontaneously start a dance party if he heard a song he liked, no matter if it was at a live show on a cruise, in line at the grocery store or around his kitchen table. He could sing too. He would always sing along to what was playing on his stereo and if he heard one of his favorite hymns, even after Alzheimer’s had taken his speech, he would serenade those who were near. Music carried him through till the very end. He leaves behind a brother, Marshall; a sister, Linda; two daughters, Christy and Dee; two grandchildren, Jessica and Samantha; and a host of cousins, nieces & nephews. A Memorial Service will be held at Fellows Helfenbein & Newnam Funeral Home, 130 Speer Rd, Chestertown, Md. on Friday March 8, 2024 at 1pm.
