Thomas A. Breuel

Loved The Outdoors

Thomas A. Breuel, 60, of Danbury, beloved husband of Carol (Baxendale) Breuel, died March 9 after fighting a long battle with cancer. Mr Breuel was born in Manhattan, N.Y., January 7, 1946, son of Albert and Mildred Breuel.

Mr Breuel was the youngest of four siblings and is also survived by Dale O’Brien of Newtown, Albert Breuel, Jr, of Springfield, Va., and Maureen Bohning of Cos Cob; his son, Thomas Breuel, Jr, his wife, Tamara, and grandson, Jackson, of Brookfield; and several nieces and nephews.

He graduated high school in Greenwich and received his associate’s degree in mechanical engineering from Norwalk Community College. He worked as a licensed electrician for the past 15 years and belonged to IBEW Local 208, Norwalk.

Mr Breuel’s greatest joy was spending time with his family. He had a true love for the outdoors and was especially fond of fishing. He was a sports enthusiast who enjoyed watching a good game. He will always be remembered for his quick wit, dry sense of humor, and that all-engaging smile. He will be sincerely missed and remain in our hearts forever.

A memorial service was held March 13 at the Green Funeral Home, Danbury.

Contributions in his memory may be made to the American Cancer Society, 538 Preston Avenue, Meriden CT 06050-1004.
