Ernie Snyder

95, of Holt, Michigan, passed away on January 30, 2022. Ernie was born in Lansing, Michigan, June 24, 1926, to John Hubbard and Burneda (Colvin) Snyder. He has been a member of the First Presbyterian church of Holt since 1958. He worked for the U.S. Postal service, was self-employed and owned Snyder T.V. and Repair in Holt, and worked for Holt Public Schools for 20 years as a custodian.  Ernie served in the Navy, during WWII, in Okinawa, Japan. He was a kind-hearted, honest, and caring man. Ernie loved his family, was very involved in the community, and never missed a Fourth of July Parade. He will certainly be missed by all.
