I noticed the Pete Ganci Jr. was on this Dept. Order and assigned to Engine 92. Captain Pete Ganci was captain of Tower Ladder 18 when I was promoted to Lieutenant in 1984 and then assigned to Batt. 26 in the South Bronx. I had the honor of working with Capt. Pete for only a short time in TL-18, but he never forgot me, even when he was eventually promoted to Chief of Department. He would see me anywhere and always said "Hi Bob" Truly one of the great firemen and fire officers I have ever met. Rest in Peace Pete. Captain Bob Rainey Engine 26 retired.
