Curator's Comment
Captain Patrick “Paddy” Brown’s career with the FDNY spanned 24 years. Adept at many sports, he maintained his athleticism both inside and outside the firehouse. A New York Metro Golden Gloves boxer, yoga practitioner, and avid runner who participated in six marathons, Brown was also dedicated to karate. “Pat never did anything halfway,” recalled his sister-in-law, Janet. “He did everything he was involved with 100 percent."
