Bet they got some pretty good beer up there in heaven!
Love and miss you Dad!
Save those beer cans and I’ll crush them for you.
I love you and I’ll miss you.
From the first time I met Bill, he made me feel like one of his own family. His kindness, care, generosity and love for all of his family members will be sorely missed, but never forgotten.
We are both saddened to hear of your dad’s final passing. We know these last few years have been a struggle for him, and not easy for your family. May your joyful memories bring you peace in the coming months.
The Snyder family was like my second family. I have many wonderful memories of being at your home, and I will always remember your warm smile and kind ways.
To my Loving and giving father who was always right.you never said goodbye so nor shall I therfore as you always said we shall see you laterI just never knew you meant Heaven right again.Love is forever eternal dad.
Pap made the best ham and eggs on the planet and played a heck of a card game. He’d never let you leave the table unhappy and always made sure you were a winner, even if you lost all your money after a few quick hands.
Deuces wild.
Love and miss you, Pap.
Pat and family, so sorry to hear of your loss but hopeful that many good memories and support of family and friends will help take you through this time.
Pat & Family, Please accept my condolences on the loss of your father. May God bless you. I’ll keep you and your family in my prayers.
