It is with a heavy heart that the City of Olean Fire Department announces that Firefighter Tracy Veno has passed away this morning at the age of 62. At this time the family requests privacy as they deal with this untimely tragedy.
Firefighter Veno was a family man first and foremost. A loving Husband, Father, Grandfather, and Uncle. The City of Olean Fire Department and City of Olean Municipal Building will miss “Peachey” with his great sense of humor and smile on his face. The City of Olean Fire and Code Enforcement Departments will not be able to fill the void that his 39 years of experience brought to our Department.
The City of Olean Fire Department will respect the Veno Family’s wishes as we move through the next few days. We will certainly do our best to update our community as we receive information. Firefighter Tracy Veno, Badge #33, end of tour 12/10/2021.
