Charles E. Snyder, Jr.
Charles E. Snyder, Jr. (CE, Charlie), of Bowie, Maryland, died on October 11, 2015. Survived by beloved wife of 62 years Bonolyn Snyder (Kinney), children Charlie Snyder (Cathy) of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Jim Snyder of Houston, Texas, John Snyder (Tori) of Tulsa, Oklahoma and Dan Snyder of Bowie, MD, 12 grandchildren, Chip, Courtney, Chad, Candace, Braden, Brittany, Macy, Kellner, Shelby, Cory, Brock and Makenzie and 8 great-grandchildren, Tanner, Taylor, Connor, Charlie, London, Roie, Sayers and Badin. He was preceded in death by parents Charles and Pauline Snyder and brother, James F. Snyder.
CE graduated from Washburn University, where he was a charter member and President of the Washburn chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon. Following college, he served honorably in the US Air Force, serving in Korea and Vietnam among the many assignments in his 20 year career. He retired in 1974 as a Major.
His life spanned multiple careers and interests. In addition to his un-wavering love of this great country of ours, he developed and enhanced a love for collecting militaria, primarily from the WWII era. His world wide activities in this area brought great recognition to his business. In so doing, he inspired in many of us, the curiosity to remember and appreciate the past.
Additionally, he was instrumental in visioning and overseeing the completion of the entire 300,000 square feet historic renovation of a 100+ year old hotel icon in Tulsa, Oklahoma known as the Mayo Hotel. His heartfelt focus on this renovation earned him an appointment to the Tulsa Hall of Fame.
Memorial services will be at 1:00 PM, Sunday, November 15, 2015, at Penwell-Gabel Parker-Price Chapel, 245 NW Independence Avenue, Topeka, which will include Masonic Services conducted by Lake Lodge # 50, AF & AM.
