Albert Anthony Capellini, a former supervisor in the Town of Yorktown, a prominent real estate attorney and an active community volunteer, died April 12 from complications from cancer. He was 75. Flags at Yorktown Town Hall, the Yorktown Fire Department and Yorktown Police Department were flown at half-mast in Capellini’s honor, and thousands of people paid their respect for two days at Yorktown Funeral Home.

“My dad was an intensely private person. He had no ego,” said Jeffrey Capellini, one of his two sons. “My dad was the kind of guy who had 25 best friends who he treated the same and they all loved him. He was considered to be one of the most gentlemanly man there ever was.”
