ANTHONY BREEN Obituary

BREEN, Anthony A. Jr. "Tony" Of Walpole, formerly of Braintree & Quincy, died September 22, 2020, after a long, hard-fought battle with hemochromatosis and cancer.

Tony's life revolved around his loving family and his mission was to "make memories" with them. His interests were his children's interests and he was involved in their sports, PTO, and school events. He enjoyed fishing, golf, ping pong, and traveling with family. He was a member of Walpole Country Club and Wayland Country Club. In his professional life, he was proud to be part of the team at Bose that brought noise-canceling headgear to the U.S. military. Tony will be remembered as caring, compassionate, humble and resilient. Ever the optimist, his glass was always half-full.

Beloved husband of Ramona E. "Penny" Breen of Walpole. Loving father of Anthony Breen and his wife Gabriella of OH, and Kelly Gallant and her husband Douglas of OH. Cherished son of Anthony A. Breen, Sr. of Somerville and Ruth (Hoey) Breen of Somerville. Loving brother of Maryann Breen of Somerville, Jim Breen and his partner John Haley of Norwood, Bob Breen and his wife Lynne of North Reading. Also survived by several nieces, nephews and his dear friend, Chuck Wynters.

Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend the Visiting Hours on Friday, 4-7 PM, in the Keohane Funeral Home, 785 Hancock St., QUINCY. Funeral Mass at Divine Mercy Parish in St. Ann's Church, Quincy, Saturday at 10 AM. Cremation will follow. Due to Covid-19, face masks and social distancing will be required at all Services. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Tony may be made to VNA Care Hospice & Palliative Care, 199 Rosewood Dr., Danvers, MA 01923. Please also consider becoming an organ donor. Normally, the Funeral is an opportunity for the community to gather in support of one another.
