Raymond G. Schnapp of Glendora NJ died peacefully on Tuesday April 28 at the age of 90.
Survived by his loving wife Marjorie (Weibel), eight children, Carol Fitzgerald (Bruce), Mary McGarvey (Fred), James (Eileen), Raymond (Jacqueline), Charles (Kelly), Michael, Margaret (Howard) and Mark (Kimberly). Dear grandfather of 16 and great grandfather of 3. Brother of Arthur.

Ray served in the US Navy from 1950 to 1954 on the USS San Pablo.
He was always willing to help anyone. He loved spending time with his family and friends, talking about his time in the Navy, fixing anything that needed fixing, volunteering at the St Teresa's Lawn Festival, being involved with Amateur Radio, camping with Boy Scouts Troop 123 and especially enjoyed the scouts annual trip to Indian Ridge NY. He volunteered on the Battleship New Jersey from the time it was berthed in Camden, helping to restore electronic equipment until he was unable to continue because he had Alzheimer's.
Due to the restrictions set forth by the State of NJ, a private burial will take place at St. Joseph's Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer's Association would be appreciated.

Aunt Margie and Family, Our sincerest sympathy on Uncle Ray’s passing. I have fond memories of him as “tour guide” on our side trip to New York during our visit to NJ back in the 70’s and of your stop over in St Louis when Todd and I inadvertently took you on a “grand tour” of the city and county on return to your hotel after our dinner at the Bevo Mill and the serenade by the strolling musicians during our meal which coincided with your anniversary. I appreciate the hospitality shown to me by Uncle Ray and the entire family during my stay in NJ as part of the Internship on my first job out of college. Love to you all. Patty and Todd O’Neill
So sorry to hear about Ray's passing. I got to know Ray while volunteering with him on the Battle Ship NJ. Many times we worked side by side in the radio room restoring the equipment. I always enjoyed his Navy stories. Ray even invited me to his radio shack a few times. RIP Ray and 73's William Bacon KE2XC
