George William Snapp Sr.
George William Snapp Sr., 94, of La Crosse died Saturday, July 19, 2008, at Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center in La Crosse.
He was the first born of seven children to Lee and Ruth Hazel (Haslett) Snapp on June 21, 1914, in Momence, Ill. He was baptized, received first communion and confirmed at St. Patrick Church in Momence. Upon graduation from high school, he worked in a Chicago slaughterhouse during the Depression. He moved to the La Crosse area in 1935 to work for three years with the Civilian Conservation Corps, a New Deal program, serving on the recruiting team. He married his wife, Geraldine Kneifl, on Dec. 5, 1936, in Winona, Minn., and they lived in La Crosse, where they raised their family.
George worked for Allis-Chalmers as an inspector, and in 1939, he was hired by The Trane Co. as an assembler in the Plant 2 Large Assembly Department. In 1946, he started a series of promotions at Trane from shift supervisor to assistant foreman to foreman to general foreman. For a brief period during World War II, he moved to Momence with his wife and two sons, where he worked for an ammunitions plant. When they moved back to La Crosse, he resumed his career at Trane. He was a member of the Trane 25 Year Club and was a 1946 charter member of the local unit of Refrigeration Service Engineers Society. He was always noted as a very skilled, detailed and dedicated employee, an even-tempered supervisor and a well-respected leader. He retired from Trane Co. on June 30, 1979, as a general foreman after 38 years of employment.
George was a determined man with a quiet wisdom. He took great pride in his yard, his home, his genealogy research, staying healthy and remaining in his home as he aged. He was a member with St. Thomas More Parish (now Mother Mary of the Church) and an honorary lifetime member of the Knights of Columbus. His greatest joy was his family and the numerous family and friend gatherings near and far. George had a witty sense of humor, a special twinkle in his blue eyes, was caring and loving of others in his special way and had a very clear commitment to always do the right thing. He was a perfect gentleman and lived his life with an integrity and dignity that has served as an inspiration to all. He will be deeply missed by family and friends.
He is survived by one son, Lee, and daughter-in-law, Sue Snapp, his daughter, Kathy, and son-in-law, Jack Niedfeldt, and his daughter-in-law, Mary Ann Snapp, all of La Crosse; seven granddaughters, Kristi and husband Todd Macheel of Milwaukee, Jennifer Snapp and fiancé David Nemo of Minneapolis, Tami and husband Mark Kornowski of Oconomowoc, Wis., Heather Snapp of Tucson, Ariz., Kari and husband John Niedfeldt-Thomas of Mounds View, Minn., Kendra and husband Scott Sandy of Babbitt, Minn., and Nicole Niedfeldt and fiancé Erick Mills of La Crosse; one grandson, Erik Snapp of Evanston, Ill.; seven great-grandsons, William Macheel, Russell and Joseph Snapp, Daniel and Evan Niedfeldt-Thomas and Wesley and Ryland Sandy; one great-granddaughter, Katerina Mach-eel; his sisters, Jane Rotondo of Bloomfield, N.J., and Amy Ann Gannon of Peoria, Ill.; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
