Fr. Breitbach holds a very special place in my heart. I still hear his voice whenever Jesus says "Amen, Amen I say to you ..." in the gospels. He also baptized my son at Resurrection Parish in 2001. How blessed I was to have him as my Priest!

Fr Richard was a wonderful professor at Cardinal Stritch University. He made statements in our sociology class that have come to be 40 years later. His knowledge was ahead of our time when he spoke of immigration and assimilation into American society. Thank you.

My deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Fr. Richard C. Breitbach. He was an excellent teacher at the Seminary and well versed in so mamy areas. May he rest in peace for his faithful service as a priest of Jesus Christ.
