Flyers owner Ed Snider engaged to girlfriend of eight months
Congratulations to Flyers owner Ed Snider and Lin Spivak, whom he began dating around March, who were recently engaged, Snider confirmed Thursday morning.
"We are very happy together," Snider said through Comcast-Spectacor spokesman Ike Richman. They declined to provide specifics but SportsInput.com reported recently that Snider proposed to Spivak at a "swanky restarant in Santa Barbara, CA,"
The web site, which broke news of the engagement, says Comcast-Spectacor chairman Snider excused himself to the restroom at which point a group of singers came over and sang "Marry You" by Bruno Mars before Snider returned, getting down on one knee and proposing marriage.
Snider, 79, has been married three times, divorcing jewelry designer Christine Decroix in 2009. Spivak, 45, has been previously married as well.
No word yet on when or where the couple plan to wed.
I never can figure out why people who obviously don't respect marriage vows bother to get married.— mindstorms- Hard to believe Snider with his liberation beliefs would go to a function at the faux Barnes which was built by those who desiccated Dr. Barnes wishes in his Last Will and Testament. Although it is sad to see him patroize the faux Barnes I am a big fan of Snider and what he does for the children of Philadelphia with his hockey foundation. Good luck with your mermaid.
— Earl J - I became a Barnes Foundation member to stick it to people like you. Art of the Steal, my arse. Get a life.
- And if his name was En Sidner, retired brick layer from South Philly, its doubtful that at 79, he could land a 45 YO. But if all parts are happy, who am I to question it???— DontBeAHypocrite
- the old goofball needs to get his name in the paper every couple months. no reason for him to get married except for the attention. he is a media wh$re to the end..— jp4210
after three failed marriages, why bother?— hannibal barca- Hey Pop-Pop, she's marrying you for your money. I kow you do not care, but there it is.— Philly Born
- "Pop-Pop" Effin' hilarious! Keep up the good work — MikeWizowski
- WATCH OUT - The grand kids are reading this.
I am Garrett Snider, Ed is my grandfather. I think you need to keep your harsh comments within your minds and off of the internet. Anybody in his family can see your comments, and if you all care so much about my Grandad's life, you will be considerate enough to keep off of his back, so that he has 62 people less to explain himself to. - Neither Ed nor Lin have to explain themselves to anyone. It's none of anyone's business. I wish you both much happiness. Lin you look wonderful in that dress. — Para
- Meh, good for him.— Another_1
- Always amazing that these rich, old geezers think the gold-diggers they hook up with are after anything except money and power. Men are truly stupid!— A836
- What makes you think he is unaware of this? Rich men that marry 30 years younger are all probably very comfortable with this arrangement.
And its not like its a loveless relationship
- @A836: who's the bigger dope? she has to spread em for a old man 34 years her senior, and will have to sign a pre-nup. there are no virgins in this picture — hannibal barca
