Michael Edward Breen

1940-2022

Michae l Edward Breen, born April 19, 1940, passed away at home on Feb. 3 after a long battle with dementia. He was the son of Michael J. Breen and Maureen Costello. He is survived by Pauline, his wife of 61 years; sons, Michael of Seal Beach, Steven of Long Beach, and Marc and Toni Breen; two grandchildren, Olympia and Maximus Breen of Albuquerque, New Mexico; aunt, Gerry Costello in Waterbury, Connecticut; and many nieces and nephews. Mike was a resident of Leisure World for 15 years. He was active in many clubs including, Y’s Service, Golf League, karaoke and chorale. Some of his happiest times were at karaoke and being in the chorale shows. Mike was a true Red Sox fan as well as a fan of all sports.

Mike spent many years here and in Connecticut, working as a referee in basketball and soccer. When there weren’t enough people to provide his boys Little League or flag football to play, he became the commissioner and stayed long after his boys had grown up.

He moved to Leisure World after spending most of his life in and around Waterbury, Connecticut. He was always glad that he did not have to shovel snow ever again.

After a lifetime helping others, Mike is at rest and cheering us along, as well as the Red Sox, of course.

Services will be held March 25 at 10:30 a.m. at Holy Family Church in Leisure World; burial will be in the family plot in St. George Cemetery in Bakerfield, Vermont.
