Obituary of John William Breier

     John William Breier, of Independence, KY passed away peacefully at Charter Senior Living at the glorious age of 98.

     He was born in Chicago, IL on November 28, 1920; the youngest of nine children to the late John and Emma Breier. John retired as a customer service manager from Unistrut Steel and was a member of St. Barbara Church in Erlanger, KY. He was also a veteran of the United States Army, having served his country proudly during WWII and earned several distinctions including a Purple Heart. In his spare time, John enjoyed completing puzzles, woodworking and watching Detroit Tigers baseball and the University of Michigan football.
