Allan David Snyder, Sr.
December 20, 1926 – March 28, 2010

Allan David Snyder, Sr. 83, passed away quietly Sunday in Clearwater, FL. “The Big Guy” was loved by all who knew him, and he shall be missed. He is survived by his 5 children with Mary Ann Snyder. His children and their spouses: Lynn Snyder Goetz & Ron Goetz of Denver, CO; Lauren Snyder Hagan & Mike Hagan, Bonita Springs, FL; A. David Snyder Jr. & Karen Snyder, Oldsmar, FL; Mimi Snyder Archer & Pete Archer, Banner Elk, NC; Johnny Snyder and Roshni Rama, Lenox, MA; his brother Bruce Snyder, Tampa, FL and his 9 grandchildren.

Born in Rutland, VT, Allan lived life to the fullest and was a generous and giving man. He loved his family, friends, travel, reading, education and was known to dress with sartorial splendor. Allan had “joie de vie”! He excelled in all sports but had a passion for water and snow skiing, golf, tennis, and jogging. Allan was a thrill seeker and an instrument rated Pilot who had a passion for flying his various airplanes.

As a young man, Allan was a drummer in his own Jazz band.  He traveled the Seven Seas in the Merchant Marines and later he served his country in the Army, 82nd Airborne, as a Lieutenant in the Korean War. After serving his country he attended and graduated from Duke University. In 1958 he moved his family and two children to Richmond, VA where three more children were born and he began his own real estate company: American Brokers.

As Allan’s family grew so did his success. In 1969 he moved his brood to Seminole, Florida and continued a successful career in real estate, where he was founder and CEO of Real Estate Concepts. In 1980 the family relocated to Captiva Island, FL. However proud Allan was of all his many accomplishments, he was most proud of his prodigy.

Funeral Services will be held Friday, April 2nd at the Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell with military honors at 2:00 p.m. Later this summer a special celebration will be held for family and friends to celebrate his life on Captiva Island, FL.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made in Allan’s name to veterans of our military who have served their country.
