Mourners packed a chapel at St. Rita of Cascia High School on the Southwest Side Friday to remember fallen Chicago firefighter Daniel Capuano who died earlier this week after falling down an open elevator shaft while battling a warehouse fire.
“Thanks, Dan, for being our hero,” said Father Tom McCarthy during a eulogy for the father of three.

“Dan, we love you, we miss you but we will know — we do know — you are always with us,” McCarthy said.
