Our family got to know Father Breen from St. Thomas. My sisters and I were lucky enough to all receive first communion and confirmation with Father Breen. May he rest in peace.

Father Breen was a sweet and gentle soul. He was always inclusive and welcoming. His words were always easy to understand and encouraging. What a wonderful legacy he leaves behind at St. Thomas. What a lovely send-off he received today at his funeral. God Bless. We will remember you with fondness.

A few years ago, my first admiration for Fr. Basil Breen was seeing him and his brother would stand up for Pro-Life with parishioners. Also, I admired his strength that even though he was not well; he was there to listen to confessions and celebrate mass. Good a faithful servant of God may you rest in peace in the arms of Jesus.

I had the pleasure and honour of working with Fr. Basil Breen at St. Mary, Star of the Sea Parish, Port Credit, Mississauga. We worked together on the Church bulletin every week using a Gestetner copier. He was a beautiful person in and out. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed,, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Father Breens kind soul and giving spirit touched so many and will never be forgotten. It was an honour and pleasure to know him and he will be greatly missed by myself and the Shetty family. May your soul forever rest in peace as you're now with the Lord Father. *Little Flower Bless Him*

My family all remembers when Father Breen joined the St. Thomas the Apostle parish when we held Sunday masses at the gymnasium at Mother Teresa Catholic School. Under his guidance, the church was built directly across the street, and the parish grew. He was honest and kind and was also a great teacher. Rest in peace, Father Breen.

We had the pleasure and honour of knowing Father Breen since we moved to Markham in 1986. He was the most vivid example of what Christ's representative on earth should exemplify. He will be truly missed by Antoinette Giampaolo andfamily. May God bless him and keep him in His loving arms.

Sad to hear the passing of a wonderful man who helped many throughout his lifetime. Our thoughts and prayers are with Reverend Breen at this time. He is now reunited with his brothers Reverend Father William and Reverend Monsignor Msgr. Gerard Breen.

Father Breen will be dearly missed. He married my husband and I 26 years ago. Although we have moved away from the parish to our area in Richmond Hill, my husband and I always keep Father Breen near and dear to our hearts. Rest peacefully near God.
