Bob and Sherry Myers Colanero burial January 12

 

Bob Colanero, Class of 1960 passed away December 11 and his widow, Sherry Myers Colanero,  passes away two days later.

 

They will be laid to rest in a private ceremony with military honors on January 12, 2024.

I missed it but Jim McDaniel, Class of 1960, who lives in Behoboth Beach, Delaware, sent me the sad news, posting “So much sadness in the world.”

Jim served in the Air Force for 23 years.

His grandfather, Carroll Currey, owned the hotel, bank and movie theater in Monongah, all in the same block. Carroll also had a car dealership on 7th street in Fairmont.

Bob’s sister, Judith Nicola Colanero, predeceased Bob. Another sibling, Danny Colanero, lies in North Carolina with wife Linda. Judy’s brother, Paul Colanero, passed away in Georgia.

Their parents were Nick Colanero and Julia Tasillo Colanero.

Other Colaneros at Monongah High included Paulette Lynn Colanero O’Connor, Class of 1966, who was on legendary coach Gene Kendzior’s 1960 Monongah team that were Marion county champs, and Paulette’s brothers, Phil Colanero, Jr., Class of 1963, who mate was Betty Hanlin (I’ve had enjoyable get-together with Phil and Betty numerous times) and Tom Colanero, Class of 1968, who married Julie Khuri Colanero.

 

John Fazio, Class of 1970, who lives in Charleston, West Virginia, recalled that Tom Colanero’s grandmother and John’s grandmother were sisters.
