The following was passed on to me. I thought you would have some interest in this. Admiral Snyder was Captain of the USS New Jersey (BB-62) when she was in Long Beach in 1968 for her final fitting out availability prior to deployment to Viet Nam. I met him and found him to be a very dedicated, intelligent and friendly person. He was an excellent choice as a Battleship commander.

Dear Friends of Admiral Snyder,
My grandfather passed away yesterday afternoon at Bethesda Naval Hospital. I wanted to share with you some of the details from my mother who was with him.
The skipper lost his battle with cancer Sunday, November 4 at 1 p.m. with family by his side. He was in the capable hands of the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, MD where he was being treated for complications of the disease. From 2-4 on Thursday, November 8th 2007, the family of RADM J. Edward Snyder will greet friends and family at the Money & King Vienna Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers the family requests any donations be sent to The Arleigh Burke Pavillion, 1739 Kirby Road, McLean, VA 22101 attention administrator Bob Demaria.
The address of the funeral home is:
Money and King Vienna Funeral Home
171 West Maple Avenue
Vienna, VA 22180
I wish I had more details to share you at this time. Please pass along this information to others who knew Admiral Snyder. My family and I appreciate the support we have received. I just ask that you keep my grandmother and others in the family in your thoughts and prayers. Whether you called him Ed, Skipper, Captain, or friend, I know you will always take a piece of him with you.
God Bless.
