CHAPTER ETERNAL WELCOMES BROTHER BERTRAM L. SNYDER

The Phoenix Alumni Chapter of Sigma Chi Fraternity lost its oldest
and most cherished member on Wednesday morning with the death of Dr.
Bertram L. Snyder.

Born on April 5, 1911 and initiated into Mu Chapter at Denison
University (Class of 1933), Brother “Bert” was a longtime Phoenix
doctor, lifelong supporter of Sigma Chi and mainstay at the monthly
meeting of the Phoenix Alumni Chapter.

Bert will be cremated and a private graveside service for family
members is planned for Monday, but Bert’s life will be remembered at
4 p.m. Wednesday (Aug. 7) at Shadow Rock Church, 12861 N. 8th Avenue, Phoenix.

A White Rose ceremony marking our Brother’s entrance into the Chapter
Eternal will be performed as part of the service. Brother Arthur
Almassy will deliver the euology.

“Bert personified the enduring nature of Sigma Chi. ‘Brotherhood’ was
more than just a word to him. He was always there for a brother, and
his participation in the alumni chapter inspired all of us,” said
Marshall Christy, consul of the Phoenix Alumni Chapter.

Christy urges all available brothers to attend Wednesday afternoon’s service.
