It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Artie “Chief” Lakiotes
Sadly, received news of Chief’s passing this morning. As sad as it most surely is, it is also a blessing. I’m sure this news will catch some of you by surprise, but Artie had been working through several health issues over the past couple of months that came on him fairly rapidly and advanced just as quickly. Thankfully, he’s at peace now.
Chief was many things to so many people. He was a 9/11 hero and survivor, although many wouldn’t know it, as he was as humble as he was generous. He was always willing to help anyone, anytime. And he was always up for a laugh, a prank, or a social gathering with his family and friends. He will be greatly missed and always remembered by many.

All,
As promised, please find below the details for Chief. Of important note…Artie will be waked and laid to rest with full Line of Duty honors befitting his service to the department and 9/11 legacy. As such, both the wake and mass will be accompanied with full FDNY pomp, procedure, and protocols. I expect that the wake lines will be long, and that attendance inside the church during Mass not assured. Just trying to manage your expectations should you be looking to attend either or both.
To allow for members to attend the wake should they desire, the Grand Knight has cancelled Weds. planned meeting.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me. Please pray for the repose of our Brother’s soul, and the eventual consolation of his family and many friends.
