Wake, funeral set for slain Cranston man

The family of James A. Pagano, the Cranston firefighter who police say was killed Sunday by a neighbor, will hold a wake Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. at Nardolillo Funeral Home in Cranston, with a funeral service to follow Friday at 10 a.m. at St. Mark’s Catholic Church, which Pagano attended as a boy.

A burial will follow the service at St. Ann’s Cemetery.

“We’ll have our firefighters in dress uniform,” said Cranston Fire Chief James B. Gumbley. “We want to have a solemn and dignified remembrance.”

Earlier today, the state medical examiners office ruled that Pagano died from a single gunshot wound to the torso with injury to the aorta, pancreas and liver.

The police have charged Nicholas Gianquitti, 40, with murder. A District Court judge yesterday ordered him held without bail.
