In Memory of Pat Brown
Pat worked with cranes, excavators, and various heavy equipment operations for many years. He began at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. While there he operated the largest crane of its type in the world! In his 17 years as a crane operator for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers he made his heaviest pick of 400 Tons. Pat developed and taught the first curriculum for crane operators in the Navy and retired as a “Master Chief”. He came to join OST in 2000. Pat retired on August 12, 2011.
Patrick Walter Brown: November 27, 1942 – August 15, 2011. Rest in Peace, Friend.
