George Snodgrass

George William Snodgrass (Bill) was born in Casper, Wyoming on January 2, 1930 to George Henry and Charlotte Anna Jourgensen Snodgrass. He was raised in Casper and on the Antelope Springs Ranch west of Midwest. He attended school in Casper and graduated from Natrona County High School in 1948. He attended Casper College and the University of Wyoming. On April 2, 1951 he married his forever sweetheart, Phyllis Propp. They lived at the Goose Egg Ranch for 61 years at the time of his death. Bill was an accomplished cow man and farmer. He loved his cows and the land, taking pride in his work on the ranch. An innovative engineer, Bill was the first rancher to implement center-pivot irrigation systems on the Kendrick Project. People who knew Bill appreciated his never ending sense of humor and his fairness in his business dealings and personal life. He will be dearly missed. He is survived by his wife, Phyllis and his three children: Michael Lee Snodgrass, Laura Kay Stalkup, Rod Stalkup, George William Snodgrass Jr.; six grandchildren (Emmy Jensen, Brent Stalkup, Kyle Stalkup, Matlynn Snodgrass, and Augusta Snodgrass) and four great grandchildren. The service will be held at 10:00 AM, Tuesday, July 31, 2012 at Bustard's Funeral Home. There will be a reception immediately following the services at Isaac Walton, Fort Casper. His ashes will be spread later on the land that he loved. The family requests that memorials in his honor go to Jason's Friends Foundation and Hospice.
