COLUMBIANA - Richard "Dick" C. Snyder, 86, peacefully passed away on the 22nd day, April, 2015 at Hospice House, Poland, surrounded by his family. Dick was born on July 5, 1928 in Youngstown, a son of Lloyd and Viola (Welton) Snyder. He worked for the BFI Waste Systems, Inc. for 45 years retiring in 1991 as Regional Operations Manager. He formerly attended the Simon Road Church of God, and had currently been attending Midway Mennonite Church. He leaves to cherish his precious memory his daughter Sandy Snyder Hofus of Columbiana, with whom he made his home; his son Rich and his wife Terry of Salem; his sister Velma Banks and husband Bob of Youngstown; two grandsons, Chad Snyder and his wife Linda of Tampa and Mark Snyder of Canfield; and great grandson Nicholas "Nicky" of Tampa. Dick was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Jean, whom he married September 4, 1945 and who passed away October 4, 2011; two sisters; five half-brothers; and five half-sisters. After retiring, Dick and Jean enjoyed traveling around the country in their RV. Dick enjoyed NASCAR racing, High School football and lending a helping hand to everyone. In recent years, Dick enjoyed building cabinets, birdhouses, and various wood items. Dick remained very active in retirement.
