HOPEWELL JUNCTION – Charles D. Schneider, 69, died peacefully on August 10, 2024, surrounded by his family at the Hudson Valley Hospice House following a courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Rhinebeck on September 23, 1954, he was the son of the late Charles Elmer and Elizabeth Thelma (Sniffen) Schneider. Charles had been employed as a polisher with Pentair in LaGrangeville.
Charles was a man who was dedicated to his family and made friends easily, and then kept them because he was such a good and loyal friend. He was always there to help. He enjoyed fishing, and was able to fix just about anything.

In addition to his wife, he is also survived by his siblings and their spouses, Susan and Richard Piccoli, Craig and Jan Schneider, Tommy and Debbie Schneider; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
