“Bob Died.” …
… Is what he requested his obituary read. Thankfully, we have the last word! Bob passed away peacefully at his home on April 3, surrounded by his beloved family.
Robert J. Snyder (Bob) was born in Fremont on March 16, 1946 to Louis S. Snyder and Gertrude E. (Beier) Snyder. After his graduation from Clyde High School in 1964, Bob moved to Port Clinton (Catawba Island), where he met and married the love of his life, Linda (Krempa) Snyder.
It was in Port Clinton that Bob realized his dream of entrepreneurship for the first time, taking over the Catawba Garbage pickup. He then worked alongside his father at LS Snyder & Sons Construction, eventually growing the business and taking over the day-to-day operations from Louis. Over the next 55 years, Bob worked as a contractor and developer of various businesses and organizations, and he served his country as a member of the National Guard.
