It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Achille “Artie” Pirro, who passed away on February 24 after a courageous battle with stage 4 small-cell lung cancer.
Artie was a devoted member of the Third Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel and proudly served as District Warden of the Knights of Columbus. He was also a dedicated member of the San Rocco Society. Deeply rooted in his faith and heritage, Artie faithfully participated each year in the Feast of San Gennaro in Little Italy, New York, as well as the Feasts of San Paolino and Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
He will be remembered for his unwavering devotion to his church, his community, and the traditions he cherished.
Artie is survived by his beloved wife, Alana Clark Pirro.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O LORD, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
