Brian H. Breuel ’66

Brian died May 29, 2016, the final day of our 50th reunion, from complications following surgery. He struggled with various health problems over the past year.

A Florida resident, Brian came to Princeton from the Lawrenceville School, where he played baseball and football. At Princeton he majored in politics, worked in the dining halls, played freshman football, and served as vice president of Cannon Club.

Brian earned his law degree from the University of Florida. He spent a number of years in the life-insurance industry and then turned to the wealth-management field, serving for many years as president of Wealth Strategies in Lawrenceville, N.J. He published two books on wealth management.

Brian served Princeton and our class in a number of ways, including as class president, class agent, P-rade marshal, and Princeton Prize in Race Relations board member. He was president of the Lawrenceville Alumni Association, chairman of the D&R Greenway Land Trust, and member of the Dean’s Advisory Council at Westminster College of the Arts, Rider University.

An avid traveler and sailor, Brian at one point took a five-year mid-life sabbatical to travel the world with his wife, Ley. The trip included sailing the Caribbean in his Hinckley yawl.

The class extends its condolences to Ley; daughters Erin and Quinn; and grandchildren Andy and Bailey.
