The Officers and Members of The Midnight Express extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Lieutenant (Ret.) John V. Pignataro.

Lt. Pignataro was a respected leader, a steady voice, and a trusted mentor to generations who passed through the doors of 16 Engine. His presence left a mark on every platoon, and every Member who had the honor to serve alongside him.

His memory and legacy are woven into the very fabric of our firehouse, and his spirit will always ride with us.

Rest easy, Lieu.
