He continued as a well-respected manager of pharmacy departments at several large local grocers and department stores until retirement. Carl was deeply involved in his Sarnia community, as a member of the Kiwanis Club, Downtown Business Association, Amateur radio, Yacht Club, international Symphony, and many other community initiatives. in retirement, Carl and Sharon moved to Verona, Ontario and spent winters in Florida where he, once again, immersed himself in community and in his many passions and numerous hobbies. His faith was important to him and music was part of his soul. He was a member of his church choirs, playing organ on occasion, and as a percussionist in many bands and symphonies. “Life on the water” was where he found joy and solace as an avid sailor and boater. He was most proud and felt deep joy when all of these passions were shared with family and friends and he will be fondly remembered by all those who experienced these special moments with him. Most of all, he will be remembered for his warm and kind heart, sharing his love of learning, and engaging with all those around him with keen interest and a caring smile.

In Loving Memory of Don Snider
Called Home December 13, 2002
Don Snider, son of the late Floyd and Wilma Snider of Westport, was called home to be with his Lord 20 years ago on December 13, 2002.
On July 1, 1978, Don married Darlene Kenny of Brewers Mills and together they raised two children, Derek, and Melissa.
Don had many gifts and accomplishments but found his greatest rewards were realized as he invested in the lives of people. His life purpose was to help others and connect ordinary people with an extraordinary God.
Music always played a large role in his life. Don served as a musical and spiritual mentor to many young musicians. He and his wife Darlene played and sang gospel music with “The Sniders” for 35 years.
Don’s actions and words touched many and demonstrated his love and commitment to God. He set a wonderful example of a life of spiritual, professional, and personal integrity that still inspires today.
Don is survived by his children and four grandchildren, six brothers, one sister and many nieces and nephews. While we desperately miss his smiling face, we cherish the great memories from the years we spent together. We are confident that Don is in heaven, joined by his Dad, Mom, and his wife Darlene.
