Donald Snook

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of our dear friend (and my sister’s neighbor)Don Snook. My neice and nephew lovingly called him Papa Don and he was a joy to watch riding his bike around Johnson’s island. He will never be forgotten.

To The Snook Family,
I was saddened to hear of the passing of Uncle Don. I have the fondest memories of going to your house on Liberty Road for family get togethers. And the times when Uncle Don would let the “Shininger Kids” ride the horses. May your memories and love for your dad be a comfort for all of you at this time.
Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you. Marcia Shininger DiSilvestro

Diane, How odd we’re both going through our losses at the same time. I have many fond memories of staying all night at your house, making home-made pizzas, the aftermath of the Willard tornado, your horses, and the night we had each other’s electric blanket controls, one of us too hot and the other too cold. My prayers are with you all. Missy

Dear Snook Family…I’m saddened by the news of the death of Don. I remember our talks and coversations when he would come into Rich’s Sunoco and gas up his truck. I was only in High School at the time, but Don always would have sincere words of advice as well as an open ear and heart to listen too what I had to say and feel.Just a little flashback to let you know as I know you do, how GREAT of a man he was. You all are in my thoughts and prayers at this time.

Your father is and always has been an uncle to all of us. I hope you find comfort in knowing that he is at peace with Doug now. All the memories of him while growing up is something I’ll never forget. I was so happy to be a part of his special night when he was inducted into the WHS Hall of Fame. I am proud to say that he was my uncle. I always looked up to him as a strong, honest and sincere man, a roll model for all of us to live by. May God bless your family.

To the Snook Family; We send our heartfelt sympathy to you at this time of great loss. Your dad will always be remembered for his quiet way and always a smile when he met you. May your memories of the happy times shared bring you great comfort in the days ahead.

On behalf of my family, I wish to extend to you deep sympathy on the loss of your dear one, Donald.
My parents, Walter and Dorothy Drury, knew Don’s parents, Ray and Alberta. May the good Lord above fill you with His peace and comfort, as only He can.

Dave and I send our thoughts and prayers to you and yours. I remember the many trips as a child when we tagged along with Dad to shoe the horses. Your Dad always had a smile on his face. May God wrap his arms around you all and carry you during this difficult time. Hold on the the many memories that you have and share them with each other over the next few days, weeks and years.

I am so sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, I know exactly what you are going through. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
Sincerely,
Joni Thornton

Dennis and family, so sorry to hear of your dads passing this week. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this trying time. Jeri

My wife and I send our deepest sympathy. I will miss him as a fixture and friend on Johnson’s Island. It will never be the same without Don’s blue truck passing our home with a wave and smile. He silently touched so many people in his quiet way.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Don’s death in todays Sanduskey Register.
Don and I have been friends since he moved to the Island. I will truely miss him.

I am truly sorry to hear of your father’s passing. He and Doug are now awaiting all to join them where there is no more pain, only joy and peace. May God Bless you all and hold you in His arms.

We wish to send condolences to your family. We have been on Johnson’s Island since 1965. We spent a lot of time with his parents at different events.
As I ride my bike by your cottage, I often think of all the good times we had with your parents and the Alfords.
Again, we are so sorry to lose another good neighbor.

My dear friend and great neighbor has moved on to a new beginning.No one can heal your heart and your pain. We who have been in your shoes understand. May the big fella wrap his big arms around this beautiful man and hold him ever so close to his heart.Joe

I will miss Don going past my house on Johnson’s Island and waving on his way to town for a meal. I am so sorry he is gone. Anne Massey

Dennis and family – sorry to hear about your father. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Our deepest sympathy to Don’s (Snook’s) family. He was a special neighbor. We will miss his wave and smile as he drove “Blue” on his way to supper. There was never a doubt what time it was when he passed you on the bridge. May your memories give you comfort, peace, and smiles.

Diane and family – Sorry to hear about your dad. Since I just lost my father on October 16th, I am mourning with you. Peace and blessings to you. Shelley

Dear family,
We’ve only lived on Woodcliff since 2001, but enjoyed talking with Don as we walked or rode our bikes past his home. We never really knew his first name, just called him Snook. He always had a friendly smile and a hearty wave of the hand as he passed by in the familiar blue truck on his way off the island for meals. We are in FL for the winter, so won’t be able to come to the funeral home, but wanted you to know that we were saddened to hear of his death. May God be with you and comfort you in your grief.

I extend my sympathy to Don’s family. He was instrumental in my initiation into local 224. With his guidance he laid a strong foundation for my career. I will be ever thankful to Don.
