Mr. Snyder proudly served for many years on Lexington State Bank’s advisory board and as a member of the North Davidson County Chamber of Commerce, winning the inaugural True North Award in 2001 for his leadership and volunteerism with the Chamber. As his health began its initial decline, Mr. Snyder retired from his businesses in 2009 but remained active in the community for as long as his health allowed.
