Friends, family, commissioners say goodbye to Albert Santor

SHAMOKIN - It was a simple service for a simple man who cared about one thing in life: helping his fellow man and his community. A somber crowd gathered at Mother Cabrini Church Wednesday morning to pay their respects and say goodbye to Albert Santor, president of the Coal Township Board of Commissioners, who passed away at the age of 71 in Ocean City, Md., Friday.

With his fellow commissioners serving as pallbearers and members of the Coal Township Police and Fire Departments lining the church steps in salute, Santor's casket entered the church as the Rev. Adam Ziolkowski began the funeral service.
