Passing of Larry Breen
Posted by ron tetelman re: HG1974 on January 30, 2015
I write with sad news today in the life of our school district. Larry Breen, who was a math teacher at Horace Greeley starting in 1964 and then assistant principal from 1969 through 2001, passed away yesterday.
Though schools as institutions are often governed by rules and tradition, great schools are also governed by those who remember, always, that people and relationships are the reason we come to work every day. I can’t think of anyone who did more to humanize Greeley than Larry. For many of us, he is the person who welcomed us into our careers, who supported and nurtured us in his own unique way. I will remember Larry as a man who said, frequently, "I am the luckiest man in the world to have this job." The joy he found at work was and continues to be an inspiration.
We do not yet have specific details regarding services. I'm told, however, that they will be made though the Cassidy-Flynn Funeral Home in Mt. Kisco. So you can check for details on their web site: http://www.cassidyflynnfuneralhome.com/
Larry's oldest son Timothy, has asked that we share his email address with all: Timothybreen (at) mac.com
Tim also let us know that any cards sent to Larry's former address will be forwarded on to the family. So that address is as follows:
101 Carpenter Avenue
Unit A 100
Mt. Kisco, NY 10549
With deepest sympathies to all who are grieving today,
