James Gregory Brecher

Greg, you were a man's man. A left hand jab that would have taken down Goliath and an intensity that made Hiroshima look like a cap pistol. We always thought you would be the last man standing of our group of 12 H4-Hog brothers. Our hearts are broken and we grieve for our loss (we miss you!) but a piece of you will remain with each of us...we are connected at the soul-level. When we gather again in the future - now the 11 of us - we will raise a glass in your honor and remember a man who inspired us all.

Greg, you knew you had many good friends, but even so, you must have been humbled and amazed at the number of people who came to honor you life and support Becky and the kids, from near and far. Thanks my friend for the great adventures and comraderie we shared. As you would have wished, we will carry on, play hard, laugh often and relish every day.

He was my Friend, My First Child "Ben's Father!" I will miss Greg so very much! I will do my best in continuing raising "our Son" in your honor!! I'll see you again someday! Love....Cindy

I am very sad, and send my heartfelt condolences to all the Brecher Family...
Greg was my Brother-Inlaw, and a real great man, he will be missed...

I will miss you bud.

Greg was a classmate and fellow H-4 Hog. From Plebe year to Cow (junior) year, we shared a lot of time and a lot of laughs together.

You could always count on Greg when you needed a hand, and that great big smile of his could light up a room.

We'll miss you buddy,

Mike O'Bannon, USMA 77 - Go Hogs!!

God bless Greg and his family. We hope that our grief is shortened by our faith and belief that our souls are eternal. We thank God for Greg, and for the strength that he gave his family, his community, his nation, and the Long Gray Line.

Esprit de Corps,'77

I did not know Greg well, as I was in First Regiment, but I remember what a fierce competitor he was. Heavy-handed in the ring, he epitomized a man's man in every aspect of life. May God bless his family and give them the strength and peace he lived with on earth and carried to the other side.

Greg was a West Point classmate and I would see him from time to time going to and coming from class. He was always upbeat and was a legend as far as sports such as boxing were concerned. It surprises none of us that Greg was a success in the civilian world and valued his family. Our thoughts go out to Becky and his family and know that this sudden loss can never be explained or understood.

I am a friend of Alisa and Steve and heard the news when she did. I did not know James, but the sudden passing of any loved one is hard to bear. My heart and prayers are with the family in this time. Please accept my condolences.
