Ernie was a fine man who gave of himself to others both in everyday life, in Scouting and on the range. Asking the best of others, just a boy that never grew-up having fun. This Eagle scout would have never made it with out the support of one who laid down his life to help other boys become men.
Proud to call you my friend.

Ernie not only was my student project co-advisor, and my first Delco Radio Supervisor, he photographed my wedding in 1972. Ernie was called upon to launch the careers of many engineers and co-workers and he set the tone of constant improvement with a sound engineering approach for my 40-year career with the company. He will not be forgotten by folks like me.
My deepest condolences to Ernie's family. Best regards,

I spent alot of time with Ernie from age 12 through age 17. Ernie was my rifle coach, ski instructor, Scout leader in the sea explorers and good friend. He did not even get mad at me when I blew up the engine of his cherished Oldsmoblie 442 in the Haworth High School parking lot.

Ernie was like a father figure to me and many others. I got to do things as a kid that I would never of been able to do without him. He was allways there for me. Ernie was a good man and a kid at heart. I miss him already.
My condolences to his family and may Ernie rest in peace.

The Snyder family and Ernie are in my prayers. With Mr. Snyder's passing, I think all my dad's best friends from Delco and the coffee club are now gone. I'll always remember hearing Mr. Snyder tell old Delco stories. He was a good man and friend to many. Good bye ole friend.

I lost contact with Ernie after leaving for the Navy in 1994. He was a very good friend to me. I loved shooting rifles on his team. He got me a job working at the rifle range at Camp Buffalo for two summers. I think he always had the heart of a teenager and an unrelenting desire to help troubled kids, even at his own peril. I will always remember the good times we had shooting, his stories of his
