The Hudson Valley remembered former Pine Bush Fire Chief Richard Tanagretta Monday.

Tanagretta passed away last week from a 9/11-related illness.

Ricky, as he was known, was an FDNY firefighter for 26 years and was a member of the Pine Bush Fire Department for 27 years.

A funeral for the former chief was being held Monday at the Church of Infant Savior in Pine Bush.

He'll be laid to rest at New Prospect Cemetery.
