NC/RC (NWA) Capt. Arthur L. Snyder

Belated notification....this is an ALPA reported death that we had not previously been made aware of.  The ALPA issue month shows when the death was reported. 
Below is what information I could find for WWII and Korean war veteran (NWA) pilot Capt. Arthur Leroy Snyder.  From what I can find I think Captain Snyder may have joined North Central Airlines and retired with Republic Airlines before they merged with Northwest.
If anyone has more information please let us know.
Thank you very much,
