Robert Lee Snyder Age 91, of Apollo, passed away at his son and daughter-in law's home on Wednesday, April 14, 2021, after a lingering illness in Hospice. "I'm "BOB" not Robert" was his introduction when meeting someone new. Before retiring in 1992, Bob worked as an Instrument Repairman, known as "The Pro from Dover'' at Allegheny Ludlum West Leechburg. Bob was always involved in helping his community, from being the paper boy in Apollo, a Proud Marine, a life member of the Oklahoma Fire Department, a member of the Kiski Area School Board (18 years), Church Council, volunteer for Meals on Wheels, a member of the Masonic Lodge of Vandergrift, and the American Legion in Vandergrift. Bob was proceeded in death by his wife of 55 years, Louella Mae (Howells); and 8 siblings. Surviving are Bob's 2 children, Mike (Mary Jo) Snyder and Jill Ruzbacki; 10 grandchildren; and 7 great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews and friends that are considered family. Bob loved roller skating, where he met his wife, Louella. He enjoyed teaching anybody that wanted to learn how to ski, reading anything he could get his hands on, cheering for his grandkids at their soccer games and mowing the neighborhood grass. He spent most of his time trying to help people. Bob really enjoyed his last summer driving to camp on the Kiski River, hanging out on the deck and riding on the pontoon boat and the run about. Bob left an impression on everyone he met and will be remembered by his response to how are you doing... FANTASTIC and "Love You MORE. He will be greatly missed. A Celebration of Life will be on Saturday, April 17, 2021 at Apollo First Evangelical Lutheran Church at 2:00 p.m. Pastor Philip Ramstad will be officiating. Covid Restrictions will be followed.
