Capt. Sergio Giovina retired from E 313 passed on 9/21/2025. FF in 280, Lt. in 222, Capt. 112 and 233. When we got to Rockaway and Chauncey in 87, the Capt of 233 was Fred Fink. He was promoted to chief and shortly thereafter Capt. Giovina was assigned. When he was a Lt. in 222 I remember seeing him wearing Bunker gear before FDNY made it our turnout gear. He would also cover by us occasionally. No funeral arrangements yet.
RIP Serge.

Gerry Killenberger was one of my best friends. We were friends for over 30 years, and he was truly like the big brother I never had. We went on vacations together and we were both in the FDNY and both volunteer firefighters, Gerry in Goshen N.Y. and myself in the adjoining town of Chester N.Y. We ate together with wives almost every weekend and just about 2 weeks before he went to the Lord we were together eating and drinking our favorite drink, Gin and Tonics. We worshiped together in Saint James Episcopal Church in Goshen N, Y. Octoberfest my life, without my buddy I will never be the same. I truly miss my good buddy and will as long as I live. Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired,
