Earl will be lovingly remembered for being an avid fan of Penn State and the Philadelphia sports teams, the pride he openly displayed while at his childrens games, the joy of watching his favorite shows on the History and Discovery Channels, and most importantly, the cherished time he spent with his family.

Earl was a member of the Jeffs, the Heights A.A., Wanderers A.A., and the BVFHA. Earl had a special connection with his chocolate Lab, Kyra.

Earl will be dearly missed by his wife, Sue; mother, Doris; daughter, Katlyn M. Snyder; son, Ryan M. Snyder and future wife, Aubrey; sister, Cynthia J. Rule and husband, Roger N.; brothers and sisters-in-law; nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents-in-law, Edward and Patricia Priestas.
