Michael Alan Schnapp
September 9, 1961 - July 11, 2020
Rotterdam, NY Michael (Alan) Schnapp, 58, made the ultimate summit push peacefully at his home after a long courageous battle with cancer. A lover of all things outdoors, Michael loved fishing, hiking, and camping, especially with his van at nearby Thompsons Lake. An employee of Amtrak for 27 years, he truly was a jack-of-all-trades, taking great pride in his many house projects. Dad loved quality time with family and his beloved dogs Sammie and Rosco. Michael is survived by his faithful, strong, and loving wife Ronni and his 5 boys: Michael (Kristin) of Cohoes, Matthew (Amanda) of Colonie, Brandon (Ali) of Boston, Austin (Jacqueline) of New Orleans, and Garrett (Abigail) of Round Lake, as well as, his three beautiful grandchildren: Avia, Rylan, and Hayes. Growing up in Green Island, Michael was the youngest of seven and predeceased by his mother Helen Casey (d. 2010) and brothers David and Garrett. He is survived by sisters Mary Beth, Susan, and Barbara, brother Gregory, as well as, several nieces and nephews.
