He worked first as a mechanic for the Gray Marine Motor Company and later as claims manager for J. T. Doyle.

In 1942 J. Snyder married Rita Kauthak and is the father of two sons and a daughter.

Before his election in 1960 to the office of Constitutional Delegate from Macomb County, Michigan, J. Snyder worked twelve years as the UAW International Representative of St. Clair Shores District, Michigan; in the capacity of an auditor - eight years, and four years as a negotiator.

Snyder's keen interest in the life of his community and that of the State of Michigan is best shown by the offices he held. They were: Councilman of St. Clair Shores, Macomb County Supervisor, Chairman of the St. Clair Shores Planning Commission, Director Macomb Chapter of the Michigan Society for Mental Health, Chairman of the St. Clair Shores Public Safety Committee, and a Representative to the Michigan House of Representatives for three consecutive terms, in 1962, 1964, and 1966. His position as vice chairman of the conservation committee consummates a long interest in the field. In April, 1967, Snyder was elected chairman of the House Democratic Caucus.
