I have such wonderful memories Bill and Karen. They were truly like a second set of parents and a family as I’m sure my brothers would attest to as well. Bill and Karen and their family were such an important part of our growing up and my parents dearest friends. I was just thinking of Bill yesterday. All of the Snyder’s loved Bill and Karen very much and I can’t believe Bill is gone.
Our prayers and thoughts are with all of the Appelbaums, Mary Therese, Billy, Danny, Stephen and Michael. We love you all very much.
Remembering the many visits I had with you and the Fuerst family while dating Larry in my teenage years. I’m so very sorry for your loss. May God heal your broken hearts and bring you peace.
Bill was always a good friend and fine example of how to live.
Unfortunately I have a work trip this week and will miss the funeral. Just wanted to tell all the Appelbaum’s how sorry I am to hear your dad passed away. I have so many great memories of good times at your house in crestwood. Thoughts and prayers go to all your family.
