Richard James Breen age 82 of Wayne died Sunday, June 3, 2012 at the Care One Health Care Facility in Wayne.
He lived in Wayne for many years.
He was born in the Bronx, New York where he lived his formative years. Richard received his formal education first at Public School 46 in the Bronx and then went on to High School at Roosevelt High School in the Bronx graduating with the Class of 1947.
Perhaps the most enjoyable years in his life was his many visits to a farm owned by his Maternal Grandparents located at Jeffersonville in New York State. It was called the Horvath Farm and what a delightful experience for each member of the family including Richard to visit the farm and live a delightful country living experience before returning to the Bronx to live in their small apartment. That farm was a grand escape for many years.
Soon after his High School graduation he joined the Navy and after serving for three years he was admitted to Pace College in New York City where he studied accounting. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting. He then obtained a permanent accounting position with the New York Academy of Medicine where he worked as Chief Accountant until his retirement in 1994.
Richard will always be remembered for his dedication to his Mother and his mother’s sister Lillian Horvath. He nurtured them lovingly for many years until their individual deaths.
Surviving to savor many enjoyable family experiences are his sister Barbara Battista and her husband Raymond of Garnes, North Carolina; Niece Lynn Kash and her husband Andrew of Raleigh, NC, a nephew Brian Kash of Garner, NC and cousins Ilona Kretzmer of Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
