He was united in marriage to Patricia A. Rathsack on July 11, 1959 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Two Rivers. The couple was blessed with three daughters and 63 years of marriage. They were longtime members of St. Mary's of the Lake Catholic Church in Lakewood, WI and St. Peter the Fisherman Parish in Two Rivers.

He also loved spending time at his cottage in Lakewood which he enjoyed for over 50 years; he enjoyed deer hunting and getting together with friends at the "hunting shack", and always enjoyed riding in his Jeep. Over the years, Snooker remained very active playing many years of softball; he was a longtime member of the Two Rivers Horseshoe League; and he enjoyed many years of miniature bowling. He also enjoyed traveling, especially vacationing to Florida and his many trips to Canada; and he was always up for a good game of sheepshead.
