Anthony A. “Tony” Breen, Jr.

Breen, Anthony A. “Tony”, Jr. of Walpole, formerly of Braintree, Quincy & grew up in Somerville, 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 a 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 N. Reading.  Also survived by several nieces, nephews and his dear friend Chuck Wynters.
