I was deeply saddened to hear of Dr. Snyder's passing. This man was truly inspiring to me. I had been his patient for over 25 years and always learned something new when I sat in that dentist chair. He would work with me (I have anxieties) and would always try to keep me comfortable. I can't even begin to describe the respect I had for him.

I never liked going to the dentist as a chore, but I always enjoyed seeing Dr. Snyder. He was so interesting to visit with. He didn't just check my teeth, he conversed with me as if I were a friend. He was kind, intelligent, and personable. I will miss him. Posted by Winona Whitaker - IA September 23, 2013
I am saddened to hear of my old friend's passing. We shared the cab of different trucks together when we were hauling furniture for a few bucks trying to make it through dental school. We studied together, dissected together and pouted over the Hawkeyes together. We would be gone several days at a time over the road. We became close. I have always admired his many strengths and easy laugh. I will miss him forever. So long JW and blessings to Sandy, Stephany , and MarcyJo. Posted by Dennis M.
