Bill Sneed, 1926-2011

Written by jrood

Bill Sneed, a longtime employee with The Rails Co., died Nov. 3, 2011 at his home in Naperville, Ill., at age 85. "His constant smile and many jokes, not to mention his product knowledge, made him many friends in the railroad industry," said his nephew, Bob Sneed. Though diagnosed with Parkinson's disease last spring, "As you would expect his outlook on life remained positive throughout this period," the younger Sneed said. His work in the rail industry "was a big part of his life and I am sure that any of you that had the pleasure of knowing my uncle are better off for the experience." Bill Sneed is survived by his wife Jane, and by three nephews, four great nephews, and one great niece. His ashes were scattered at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Illinois.
