In Memory of Craig R. Snyder
09/05/1953 - 01/19/2026
It is difficult to put into words what Craig meant to so many of us. He was a caring, generous, and genuinely wonderful person who had a way of making people feel valued, welcomed, and cared for. He touched countless lives through his work, his friendships, and most of all, through the love he gave to his family.
Craig’s career in insurance began in 1977, and in 1981, he took the courageous step of building an independent agency of his own. What he created was much more than a successful business. He built a place centered around people, relationships, trust, and service.
Craig loved his clients, and his clients loved him. Over the years, many became close friends, and some families trusted Craig and the agency for generations. He genuinely cared about the people who walked through the doors and took great pride in being there for them when they needed help. That connection was one of the greatest things about Craig—and one of the greatest parts of his legacy.
Outside of work, Craig was a devoted family man who treasured his five grandchildren. He loved cheering on the Chicago Bears, his passion for classic cars, including his beloved 1966 Pontiac GTO, and spending time outdoors in upstate New York, snowmobiling, riding four-wheelers, and enjoying the peace of nature - always seeing 'the forest through the trees'.
We miss Craig more than words can express. We miss his presence, his kindness, his humor, and the way he made people feel. His absence is felt every day by his family, his friends, and the many clients whose lives he touched.
Craig built this agency with his heart, his hard work, and his belief in taking care of people. It is an honor and a responsibility to carry his work forward. We will continue to care for our clients, serve our community, and grow the agency he built with the same integrity and dedication that Craig showed throughout his life.
Most of all, we hope that everything we do from here forward will make him proud!
Craig’s legacy is not simply the agency he built. It is the people he loved, the people who loved him, and the difference he made in their lives.
♥ We love you, Craig. We miss you every day. And we will carry your legacy with us always... ♥
