Friends may call from 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM Monday at Martin Funeral Home in Waukon. Virgil Lawrence Snitker was born on July 5, 1939 in Waukon, IA, the son of Lawrence Elmer and Helen Minnie (Goeke) Snitker. He was baptized and confirmed at Zion United Church of Christ in Waukon and attended rural area schools. Following school he began farming with his father and then on his own at several locations in the rural Waukon area. Virgil then spent several years working road construction for Carlson Construction out of Decorah. After that he returned to farming for a time, working for the Promnitz family. Finally he worked as a cheese maker for the Ludlow, Waukon, and Decorah Creameries before health issues forced his retirement in 1990. He married Betty Peterson and had 3 children, Michael, Michelle, and Mark. They were later divorced. On June 29, 1973 he married Rose Ann Andregg at St. John's Lutheran Church in Waukon. Prior to his health issues, Virgil's favorite pass time was fishing. He spent time fishing with practically every member of his family, imprinting many fond memories for all. Virgil also enjoyed gardening and raised both flowers and vegetables. When visiting with Virgil at his home in Waukon, one of the first points of interest was showing off his garden. Many family meals were shared with fresh vegetables from his labor of love. Upon retirement, Virgil took up the hobby of making bird houses in his garage. Each project became bigger and more colorful and he gave these away as gifts. Virgil also became the caretaker of the neighborhood stray cats. He made certain they had food and even installed a pet door in his garage to give them shelter. Enjoying a good game of cards and listening to Christmas music were other things special to Virgil. Survivors include his wife, Rose Snitker of Waukon; 3 children, Michael A. Snitker of Minneapolis, MN, Michelle (Eric) Bolhuis of Greeley, CO, and Mark L. (Lynn) Snitker of Rollingstone, MN; 5 grandchildren, Allison and Garrett Bolhuis and Brett, Peyton, and Aiden Snitker; a brother, Darrell (Kay) Snitker and a sister, Kathy Snitker, both of Waukon; a brother-in-law, Eldon Lenth; and a sister-in-law, Dorothy Snitker. He is preceded in death by his parents; a brother Robert Snitker; and a sister, Faye Lenth. Casketbearers are Lane and Lonnie Lenth, Dustin, Darren, Bruce, and Richard Snitker, and Kyle Johnson.
