Snyder, Carl 'Duke'- It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, Carl Howard ‘Duke’ Snyder. Duke passed away peacefully in the early hours of July 20, 2024 at the age of 86, and is now in the arms of his loving wife Marilyn (nee Robertson), son Chris (Donna) and grandson David. He will be dearly missed by his children Tim (Cathy) and Jane Barbosa (Edgar) and grandchildren Rebecca, Michael and Caleb, who adored their beloved Papa. Duke is also survived by his loving sibling Sr. Barbara Anne Snyder and is predeceased by parents Carl and Gertrude Snyder. Born and raised in Guelph, Duke worked in the maintenance distribution industry for many years. As a hobby enthusiast, Duke was a founding member of COALS (Central Ontario Association of Live Steamers), had a passion for classic cars in his retirement and was a proud member of the Piston Pushers Car Club of Brantford.
