Heartfelt condolences to the Coyle family

It is with deep regret that the New City Fire Engine Company No. 1 announces the passing of Life Member John “Jack” Coyle, 94, on February 3, 2026.

He was born on June 13, 1931, in Nyack, New York, to John and Mildred Coyle.

Jack was predeceased by his beloved wife of 67 years, Janice Coyle, and by his brother, Douglas Coyle. He is survived by his son John Coyle and wife Theresa; daughter Katherine Mistele and husband Bill; and his cherished granddaughters, Sarah Mistele, Carolyn Benson and husband Tyler, and Charlsey Coyle.

Jack was a graduate of Nyack High School and Southern Methodist University and proudly served in the United States Army. He spent his professional life in the insurance and real estate industry with Coyle and Coyle Inc. He was also an active and devoted member of St. John’s Episcopal Church in New City.

A lifelong servant to his community, Jack joined the New City Fire Department on May 1, 1956, and at the time of his passing was its oldest living member, having served for an extraordinary 70 years. During his tenure, he served on numerous committees including the Carnival Committee, Fire Insurance Committee, Blood Drive, and the 1995 Convention Committee. An avid and dedicated member of the fire police, Jack responded to calls at all hours and in all weather conditions up until a couple of years ago. He will be greatly missed.

Funeral Arrangements:
Visitation will be held on Friday, February 27, 2026, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 365 Strawtown Road, New City, NY 10956. A Firematic Service will take place at 7:00 p.m.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at St. John’s Episcopal Church.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. John’s Episcopal Church.

May he rest in peace.

Help us help you by clearing snow and ice around the hydrant on your property. In the event of an emergency where we need to use a hydrant, this saves valuable time when hooking up the hose to the hydrant.

Remember, during the storm, if you have an emergency, do not wait—call 911.

This September 24th, we will honor the 50th anniversary of the line-of-duty death of Firefighter Kevin Landau. To preserve his memory, the New City Fire Engine Company No. 1 established the Kevin Landau Memorial Scholarship, which has been awarded each year for the past five decades to a graduating senior from Clarkstown North High School.
As we prepare for this important milestone, we are hoping to reconnect with past scholarship recipients to include them in our commemorative plans. While we have a complete list of recipients, many have moved or changed their names through marriage.
If you are a past recipient—or know someone who received the Kevin Landau Memorial Scholarship—we kindly ask that you reach out to us via Facebook Messenger or email us at [email protected] with updated contact information.
We thank you in advance for your support. Please mark your calendars: we will be honoring Kevin’s life and legacy on Wednesday, September 24th with a memorial Mass at St. Augustine Church in NewCity followed by dedication ceremonies at Fireman Kevin Landau Park. Stay tuned to our page for more details about the day’s events.
