Carl T. Breaux, of Cromwell, beloved husband of Debbie (Pierce) Breaux, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, August 10, 2016, surrounded by his loving family. Carl was born on October 3, 1931, to the late Sydney and Cora Lee (Martinez) Breaux, in Plaquemine, LA, one of what would be seven children.

They, too, had seven children, so there was always lots of love and activity at 4920 Laurel Street—an address forever etched in Carl’s heart. In many ways, Carl was very fortunate to have had the love of two special families.
A Korean War Veteran, Carl had enlisted in the Air Force upon his graduation from Redemptorist High School, in New Orleans. Following basic training at Boise AFB in Idaho, he decided he wanted more challenge–a decision that led him to complete Jumpmaster training at Fort Benning, GA. From there he was assigned active duty with the 582nd Air Rescue team at, what was then, Molesworth AFB in England, where he served for two years. Upon his discharge in Minnesota, he completed his degree at Minneapolis Business College and was hired by The Hartford Insurance Group as a Premium Auditor. That career led him from Minneapolis to St.
