Al Williamson passes away
Alan Williamson, who once delivered
groceries for P.P. Shenasky Grocery and in later years helped Pete and Nell’s
daughter, Amelia Zentz, take care of her property on Shenasky Lane, passed away
Friday, December 15.
Susan Staron Sanders,
Class of 1971, delivered the sad news. “Letting our
classmates know we lost a special guy last evening. Al Williamson. RIP, my
friend.”
Susan and her Charge of
the Lights Brigade friends often visit Amelia and Al. One of the 21 Monongah
Christmas street lights that they fundraised for is on Shenasky Lane.
Al moved into the small house beside Amelia’s home after Carrie Shenasky, who lived in it, passed
away.
