Paul T. “Ted” Snowaert, age 82, of Schaffer, passed away October 3, 2017 at St. Francis Hospital in Escanaba.
Ted was born July 29, 1935 to Paul and Mildred (Menard) Snowaert of Gladstone, MI., and has one brother, David. He was a Gladstone High School graduate, and employed as a machine tender at Mead Paper for over 40 years.
Ted was a meticulous, hard-working man, and always busy with projects. He stood up for what he believed in, and was devoted to his family and friends. Happiest during hunting season, and when his family was with him at camp. Never one to draw attention to himself, but remembered by everyone he met.
Ted is survived by his children: Stefan Snowaert, Alan Snowaert, and Ann Flor. His grandchildren: Nicole, Paul, Jayda, and Leannah. His great grandchildren: Hailey and Hunter.
Ted’s wife, Lena (Tuskan) Snowaert is among his survivors. They had been married for over 35 years, and lived together in their Schaffer home until his passing.
Tributes are encouraged, as the family is honoring Ted’s wishes for no visitation or funeral services.

I miss you Dad! You were our rock when we had tough decisions to make. Always giving us sound advice to make the right decision. We learned good values from you. We learned to be good, strong, independent individuals. Life was not always ideal, but you showed us how to move forward honorably. We know we can walk with our heads held high and no regrets for mistreating anyone.
This was the first year you weren’t home for my birthday. I missed your call; hearing your voice. Our tradition will carry on, just different participants. Thanks for always making me feel special to you.
I love you Dad!
