Bill Snider Honoured In Memorium at Picadilly Cemetery

Sep 25, 2014

The weather cleared just a bit and a warm front broke through the early fall chill at the Piccadilly cemetery on Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 23. Before holding one of the final council meetings of the term in the nearby hall, members of council and staff of Central Frontenac Township joined with the family of the late Bill Snyder to dedicate a bench in his honour. Mayor Janet Gutowski spoke of the legacy left by Snyder, who died in February while still a member of Council, a position he held for 35 years. “Bill was dedicated to Hinchinbrooke and Central Frontenac Township and his beloved Piccadilly area. Bill was tenacious when he wanted to get things done, and he insisted that things were done properly. We won't see another like him,” she said.

A moment of silence was held to mark the occasion, then everyone walked slowly to the Piccadilly hall to carry on the business of the township.
