Notes for Boyd Wayne Snyder
Boyd W. Snyder, 75, Orofino
Boyd Wayne Snyder, formerly of Weippe, died peacefully on Dec. 19, 2010. He was 75.
He was born to Walter and Flarnie Bonner Snyder on Aug. 6, 1935 in Weippe. The youngest of eight siblings, he worked for the railroad, with the trestles, up through Winchester and surrounding areas.
His various jobs included crop dusting, Schmidt Brothers Mill, Hutchins Lumber; Timberline High School and upon his retirement was custodian for the Ponderosa Restaurant.
His first marriage ended in divorce. He married N. Lynn Spicer Austin, and helped raise her son Lance. Boyd taught his son Lance to fish and hunt, which they did often. When grandson Wayne was born, the first thing he said was, “That boy wasn’t born with a fishing pole in his hand”. He was an avid hunter and fisherman in the Weippe area until 1987, when he moved to Orofino. The hunting, fishing, and camping stories will continue with them.
Boyd is survived by his wife, Lynn, grandson Wayne J. Snyder, Moscow and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, son Lance G. Austin Snyder; five brothers, W. Jay, Martin Lee, Walter Dean, Oren and Norman; sisters Phyllis Hix and Delores Brink.
