Ward 3 Councillor Arthur Guinasso put forth this motion during a December 2020 council meeting. Tirro’s daughter Ann-Marie Costa said although the in-laws were total opposites, they were like the odd couple, both exemplifying loyalty and pride, during Saturday’s memorial pole dedication on Revere Street.
