With Great Sadness, Coal Township Legend Passes

A view of the memorial at the former Coal Township Stadium dedicated last fall.

With great sadness, the Coalregion Voice has learned of the passing of Coal Township legend Coach Bernie Romanoski Sr.. Romanoski was well known throughout the greater Shamokin-Coal Township community for his many years in the Coal Township and later Shamokin Area School Districts. His philanthropic efforts later in life were numerous, especially for veteran causes.
Updates will follow throughout the weekend.



Romanoski was 85 years old.


UPDATE:


Today's front page story. My favorite is when Bernie tried to combine football and golf into one sport with Jazz Diminick.

Chuck Souders says Bernie's shoe will be hard to fill.
