David Breslin Obituary

David G. Breslin, 65, of Southington, passed away on Sunday, June 21, 2020 at Baylor Medical Center in Dallas, TX. He was born in Brooklyn, NY on May 2, 1955 to the late Joseph and Julia (Sullivan) Breslin. He is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Eileen and his son Colin, his wife Mariel and their daughter Mara; and his son Ross. He loved his entire family including his brother and sister-in-law, Joseph and Andrea Breslin of Plano, TX and all of his in-laws, nieces, nephews and their children. He worked as an Engineer and was a proud alumnus of Brooklyn Technical High School ('73) and Polytechnic Institute of New York University ('77). He was a life-long fan of the New York Football Giants, having attended many games over the years with family and friends.

I am truly sorry to hear of David's passing. I had the pleasure of working with Dave in the 1980's while he was at the Walsh Construction Company. He was a true construction professional with a healthy sense of humor.
In later years we crossed paths occassionaly while he was employed at SLAM in Glastonbury....he never lost the ability to make people chuckle. Good guy. He will be missed.

My name is Dean Ober. I was a colleague of David's at SLAM for several years. I enjoyed our interactions and conversations. He was a sharp wit and I can personally attest to his zeal for sports. As a lifelong Boston fan, you can imagine the nature of THOSE discussions! Dave will be missed. My condolences.
