Obituary for Glenn H Snook
Glenn H. Snook, loving husband, father & grandfather passed away peacefully at home on February 14, 2019.
He was born on December 28, 1936 to Harry and Susie Snook of Julian, PA. In addition to his parents, he is also preceded in death by his siblings and grandson, Jesse.
Glenn proudly served in the National Guard, and taught in the Colonial School District for 27 years, retiring in 1990. He was also the superintendent of Battery Park in Old New Castle for 24 years, and in his later years worked at Seaway Services in Delaware City, DE. He shared 58 years of marriage with the love of his life and college sweetheart, Sara. He loved spending time with his family, especially when everyone came for Sunday dinners. Our family shared a lot of food and laughter every week, and his Poppy jokes were legendary. He was also very talented in woodworking and carpentry, creating countless beautiful pieces of furniture and helping out with home improvements for many. He was very much loved and will be sorely missed.
Survivors include his wife of 58 years, Sara (nee Cox); sons, Jeffrey (Valerie) and Matthew (Karen); as well as five grandchildren, Tyler, Joshua, Nathan, Erin and Kassi. A memorial service will be held at 10:30 am on Friday, February 22, 2019, at New Castle United Methodist Church, 510 Delaware Street, New Castle, DE 19720, where family and friends may call after 9:30 am.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions be sent to New Castle United Methodist Church.
