The founder of the Pearl River Park and Activity Committee, which puts on the annual Fourth of July celebration in Central Avenue Field, Ennio Munno (1935-2011) passed away Friday.
Ennio Munno lived in Pearl River for over 50 years and his involvement in the community over the years brought some to call him the "Unofficial mayor of Pearl River."

Munno is survived by seven children; Umberto, Franco, Ermanno, Annina, Ennio, Jr., Stephan and Laura; and 10 grandchildren. The wake will be held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 9 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday Sept. 6 at the Assumma-Shankey Funeral Home in Pearl River.
