I am very sad to learn about Bob's passing. He and I went through all 12 grades together. We were friends, and I had many pleasant times with Bob and his parents at their home. I really appreciated it. My deepest sympathy to the Breen family.

My name is Robert G Breen Jr. There is so much I can say about my Father, he was so much larger then life to me.
My Dad always put his family and everyone else before himself, he was a hero to me. It's hard to put into words, all the memories , and great times I spent with my Father wether alone or with the rest of my Family. There were so many things my Father wanted to do, but helping others was more important then him doing things for himself. I will turely miss my Father, and I'm so sorry I could't see him.
The only Solace I have from this is knowing he is at peace. I Love You Dad, and miss you so much.

My name is Tom Bouman, I was a very close and good friend of Bob way back in Grammar school and High school. I moved to Florida in 1978 and still here. One of our other close friends John Crawford and Neil Vandenbrock just informed me of Bob's passing. John is still in New Jersey and Neil is here in Florida and we have kept in touch regularly. John had informed me a while back of Bob's illness. I am so very sorry to hear of Bob's passing, he was a real good guy and a real good friend, this has touched me deeply and I wish to offer my deepest condolences to all of you.
