DENMON Staff Writer The sudden death of Dallas School Director Albert Pisaneschi came as a tragic shock to many members of the Back Mountain community. While many adults knewhimasa member of the Dallas and West Side Tech School Boards, the youth of the Dallas School District knew Al Pisaneschi for the support he has given them for the past 20 years. Years before the school district had its own audio-visual program, Big Red, as he was known to his friends and to the athletes could be seen at sporting events photograph- ing the event. Unknown to most people, he did it all at his own ‘ex- pense and with his own camera. Later he gave the photos to the athletes for their scrapbooks. His death at Jefferson University Hospital has taken Big Red but his memory will linger on forever in the hearts and minds of the many for- mer and present students, their parents and teachers of the Dallas School District. Many were the times that the athletes spent summer days prac- ticing in Pisaneschi’s yard at his home in Carverton Heights. He was one of the few homeowners left who didn't mind torn-up grass, or a broken bush or two. Those things can always be replaced, he said, but a youth's opportunity to excel can never be replaced. He shared his knowledge as a photographer with others just be- ginning to snap photos in the field of athletics as this writer well knows. He was a generous man and if someone's camera didn't work or if a photo did not turn out right, he was always willing to share his. He was a man who could agree to disagree and did so with his closest friends. Former Dallas coach Jack Jones said Big Red was one of the best friends he ever had. They had their disagreements but they always remained friends. But more than a friend of adults, he was a friend of the kids. He did many things few people ever heard about such as purchasing gloves for the athletes when it was cold, taking athletes and friends in his van to state wres- tling competition, taking photos at soccer games and giving them to the kids and their coaches. Al Pisaneschi was a great believer in higher education. He did not have the opportunity to receive a college education and he realized how valu- Albert Pisaneschi able it could be. No one will ever know how much-he did to help the young students. He was an active member of the former Dallas Booster Club and more recently an avid booster of the Penn State Football program. He was always ready to do a favor for a friend or for a young person. Al Pisaneschi was proud of the Dallas School District and a staunch sup- porter of all of its activities. Few people realized the unspo- ken contributions Pisaneschi made to school and community-contribu- tions which will be remembered as time goes on. His passing will leave a void in the community. It has lost a friend, a man who did his best. Albert Pisaneschi, 56, of Sickler Road, Carverton, died Oct. 29, 1988 in the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia. Born in Parsons, he was the son of the former Mary Ginanni of West . Wyoming and the late Armando Pisaneschi. ! A former resident of West Wyo- ming, Mr. Pisaneschi had resided the past 30 years in Carverton. He was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Shavertown. Mr. Pisaneschi was a member of the Dallas Area School Board, and served as president of the West Side Vo-Tech School Board. A past president of the Dallas UNICO, he was also an avid booster of Penn State University Football. Mr. Pisaneschi was a member of the Blue Club, and served as a photographer for the Sunday Inde- pendent at Penn State University games. He was also a member of the George M.
