O Captain my Captain! Today I sat down with FDNY Retired Captain Patrick Cleary E-59. Captain Cleary joined the FDNY 4/91 and assigned to E266 out of Proby School. He transferred to E53 4/93 and crossed the floor to L43 6/96. He was promoted to LT 3/02 and assigned to E219 in Brooklyn. Promoted to Capt. 6/04 and assigned to E59, The Harlem Zoo in the 16th Battalion. Captain Cleary retired 12/13/14. He also was on the FDNY Hockey team and played for 7 years. He also help organize and run the FDNY King of the Ice tournament between Firehouses. Captain Cleary has a wealth of experience and knowledge and he was kind enough share his stories and insights while he served on the FDNY. He shares his 9/11 story, which is not an easy thing to do for many firemen who had that experience. So I am grateful for that. Captain Cleary was highly respected in the Harlem Zoo, the 16th battalion and the FDNY. I know first hand because he was my captain. Thanks again Captain.
