Johnny, Billy, Gary, and Debbie,

Sorry to hear about AJ’S passing.

Though I didn’t play against AJ as I did the rest of the Breen brother’s I remembered seeing him play as a clever little dipsy doodler with the ball. He was creative and liked playing in traffic.

The few times I was in AJ’s company I found him to be a real nice and pleasant guy just like his brothers.

I don’t know what to say other then accept my sincerest condolences.

God Bless!

My condolences Gary, Deb,Bill and John.rip my friend AJ. Love you and miss you my buddie

I was shocked to hear of AJ’s sudden passing .
AJ was my Brother Rice soccer teammate and also
my opponent in club ball with Holy Cross vs our Mt Pearl squad.
…I will remember his incredible soccer talent …
Arguably the best pure touch of the ball I ever saw..
And how close his brothers and friends were on and off the field …may God bless the Breen family during this difficult time …

To Billy and family. So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Johnny, Billy and Gary. We were so saddened when Jeff shared the news of AJ’s death. I remember his energy and skill on the pitch. Brings up sad memories on the loss of Bobby as well. My wife ,Sandy Faulkner, are I are praying for your family and send our condolences from Alberta

We are so sorry to hear of AJ’s passing. When I hear AJ’s name, I always remember the time I was just a few years old & Dad had taken me to King George to watch a soccer game with him. I wandered off with a friend, & ended up falling in Quidi Vidi. It was AJ who jumped in & pulled me out. I will always be thankful to him for that, as the outcome could’ve been much worse.

Johnny, Billy & Families; Find solace in your memories, & know we are thinking of you during this time.

To Billy & the Breen Family:We are so sorry to learn of your brother’s passing. Please accept our sincere condolences.
