Glenn R. Snyder, vice president of merchandising for Burris Food Inc., died of cancer Saturday at York Hospital in York, Pa. He was 63 and lived in Red Lion, Pa.

Born and raised in York Township, Mr. Snyder was a 1956 graduate of Red Lion High School. He served in the Army's 2nd Infantry Division.

He began his career in the food industry working for Stauffer Cookie Outlet and later with the Jewel Tea Co. At his death, he had been vice president for 15 years of Burris Food in Milford, Del.

An outdoorsman, Mr. Snyder enjoyed hunting, fishing and boating.

He was a member of Bethel United Methodist Church in Brogue, Pa., where services will be held at 11 a.m. tomorrow.
