Born February 29, 1948 in Mechanicsburg, he was the son of the late Roy and Mildred (Eckert) Snyder and was a 1966 graduate of Cumberland Valley High School.

He was a former member of the Masonic Lodge in Harrisburg and Silver Spring Presbyterian Church in Mechanicsburg. In his downtime, he read thrillers and military books, both fiction and non-fiction. He especially enjoyed spending time with his dogs, Zorro, Clyde, Bert, Ernie and Pugsley and sharing his coffee with Clyde every morning.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, William Snyder.
Surviving is his beloved wife, Linda L., who he married on January 7, 1978; one son: Eric R. Snyder, Carlisle; one sister: Charlotte Horner, Carlisle; nieces and nephews; and his precious dogs.
