I am so sorry for your loss, I knew John however,we were not close. I graduated from Grandville in 87. I remember John as a good person and he was always kind. Im sorry he had to go out like he did but I beleive he is now with GOD and is happy, however, missing his family and freinds contact, I wish the family of John all the best in their healing. Sincerly, Derrick.

I knew Johnny and much of the Snyder family for many years through wrestling. I have very found memories of John from those early wrestling years, and I feel fortunate that I had the opportunity to become better friends with him after I moved back to Grandville. Please accept my deepest condolences as you try to make sense of a situation that seems to have none.

John,
 You were one of my very best friends for 15 years. The year I spent home in America hanging out with you was great. We had so much fun with all that Star Wars stuff, playing cards you always took my money! and endless hours of video games. I can't believe I won't see you again my dear friend. I couldn't believe it when Don told me. I can't believe it now. I'm so sorry I couldn't be there. Somehow I wish things could be different. Ahhh....my friend. I will miss you all my life.
 The Force will be with you...always
 Kurt

To the family of John Snyder, I am so sorry for the tragic loss of John. I heard about John from a friend who still lives in the Grandville area, and needless to say I was horrified. I have not seen him in about 10 years, but I knew him well enough to know that he will be missed by all who knew him.
 Dear Julie, I think you may be the only one who recognizes me by name. I graduated under you, class of 1988. I wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and your family during this terrible time. I wish there was something I could say other than I am sorry. I cannot even begin to imagine what you must be feeling. I would like you to know that if I could do anything to ease your pain and suffering I would, but unfortunately I cannot.
 My heart goes out to you all, Barb Wilczynski

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your son. I just lost my mother two weeks ago so I know what you're going through. At least I had some time to prepare. I know nothing could prepare you for what happened to your son. There have been a lot of changes at Spectrum over the last few years but you are still considered part of our maintenance family. I also want you to know that I really appreciate the snacks that you bring in during the Holidays. We will keep you in our prayers. Jim K.

John & Nancy, May I extend my deepest and heartfelt sympathy. I appreciate Nancy contacting me and letting me know, even though it was such a tragic loss. I will hold John Jr. in my prayers, and also his family. The few times I had the opportunity to work around him at Butterworth Hospital, was very enjoyable. He was a quiet individual, very hard working, and great person to be around. Once again, God bless you all, and may He hold him in his graces. Sincerely, Randy Stuhan
