Organizers hoped that former Fire Chief Paul Felice's "selfless and dedicated" legacy would encourage people to give back.The New York Blood Center and the Patchogue Lioness Club held a blood drive on Thursday in honor of a lifelong Patchogue resident who dedicated his life to his community.
The drive was held in honor of Paul Felice, who served the Patchogue Fire Department as a fire chief and fire commissioner during his more than six decades with the department. He died in April 2023."He was always doing something for somebody. Always,” she said."He was the ultimate volunteer. He volunteered his whole entire life,” she said. "He was really special, and loved, and admired.
Organizers say they hope his legacy of selflessness and dedication would encourage people to give back. His daughter Cheryl Felice said they saw the community support from the second they opened the doors. "An overwhelming show of love and affection came out here today and that's what we're seeing,” she said. “We're seeing love and kindness and we are very, very grateful for that.""I know my husband's very, very happy about it. He always loved things like this, always. He always took part in everything,” said Margaret.
