His send-off last year was muted, by firefighter standards.
There were no bagpipes, no final call-out for his remains, and city firefighters were forbidden to leave their trucks. Neighboring fire departments were told not to come. We were not able to follow the traditions, and it was a huge disappointment, said Passaic Fire Chief Patrick Trentacost.
Firefighters even had to refrain from consoling Tolentino s family because of the need to stay socially distant.
But they promised his family something: that when they could do so safely, the time-honored traditions of the city s Bravest would be kept.
On Wednesday, the anniversary of his March 31 death, Tolentino got his firefighter send-off.

N.C. State takes home the conference title
Led by ACC champions Tariq Wilson, Hayden Hidlay, Daniel Bullard, Trent Hidlay, and Deonte Wilson, the N.C. State Wolfpack won their third consecutive ACC title. The Wolfpack came into the tournament as the No. 2 team in the conference after dropping a dual earlier in the year on criteria to the Virginia Tech Hokies, but Sunday night was all about the Pack.
The Hidlay brothers headlined the success of the team, with Hayden winning his fourth conference title in as many years and the younger Hidlay, Trent, winning his first title in sudden victory. Both will aim to carry this success into the 2021 NCAA tournament and chase their first national titles.
