Ionia Sentinel Standard, 25 May 2004

W. Ralph Snyder Jr. of Inverness, Fla., formerly of Angola, Ind. and Ionia 
County, passed away at his home surrounded by family and friends, under the 
care of Citrus County Hospice on Wed., May 19, 2004, following a short fight 
with cancer.

Ralph was born on June 6, 1936, in Hubbardston, to the late Wavel Ralph Snyder 
Sr. and Lucille Elizabeth Graham Snyder.  A retired long-haul truck driver, 
Ralph saw the world through the windows of his rig.  He was a man of great 
character and courage who had great respect for his work and his faith.  He was 
an active member of Bethel Baptist Church in Hernando, Fla.  He spent his last 
days sharing time and memories with family and friends from across the U.S.  We 
consider ourselves blessed to have been a part of his life, and his passing 
into the next.

He is survived by his wife Roslee Marie Clark Snyder; five children and two 
step-children, Christopher Ralph, and wife Karen of Belding; Joseph Andrew, and 
wife Viki, of Inverness;  Bonnie Ann Funk and Wendy Nita Lucille Smith, both of 
Montpelier, Ohio; Joshua Ray of Belding, and their mother Sandy Rae Snyder also 
of Belding; as well as Stacy Lynn Applegate and Kevin Dwayne Applegate, both of 
Fremont, Ind., and 16 grandchildren.

Also surviving are brothers Carl of Portland, Tom and John both of Ionia and 
Bill of Middleton, as well as Jack Darling of Ovid; and sisters Mrs. Edna 
Faylor of Fowler; Betty Rowley of Ionia; and Delores Brunk of Carson City.

He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers Chuck and Alan and an infant 
sister Carol Ann Snyder.

A memorial service was held Sat., May 22, at Bethel Baptist Church in Hernando, 
Fla.  Another memorial service will be held locally at Easton United Methodist 
Church at the corner of Potters and Johnson roads at 10 a.m. on Sat., May 29.  
A luncheon will follow.
