Firefighter Paul A. Brotherton
Rescue 1
“He was a very loving and caring husband, father, brother, uncle and friend. We will remember not only his sense of dedication to his job, but also his love of life and his sense of humor.”
— The Brotherton Family
Firefighter Paul A. Brotherton, 41, was a 16-year veteran of the Worcester Fire Department and served on the Rescue Squad for five years. A native of Worcester, he graduated from Burncoat High School and was a veteran of the U.S. Air Force. Paul and his wife, Denise, lived in Auburn with their six sons: Michael Paul, age 14, Brian George, age 13, Steven Patrick, age 11, Timothy Roger, age 9, Jonathan David, age 7, and David McCauliff, age 6.
Paul, described as a wonderful family man, raised his sister Kim after the death of their parents. His brother fire fighters were like a second family to Paul and all were invited to celebrate Kim’s marriage in 1998. When he wasn’t on duty, Paul enjoyed playing with his kids, riding his Harley-Davidson and going to Foxwoods. A talented cook, he could be counted on to whip up Sunday morning breakfast for his fellow fire fighters after night duty. While he took his role as a fire fighter seriously, he was also known to enjoy a good joke.
Fun-loving, with a zest for life, Paul leaves a legacy in his six sons. He will be sadly missed by his family, his friends and the community.
