Charlie graduated from Freeport High School in 1956 after which he attended Hofstra
University. After serving in the 82nd Airborne Division, Charlie began his Wall Street career at
Ira Haupt (1962). A year later, Charlie moved to Bache & Company (later to become Prudential
Securities), retiring in 1998 as a senior vice president of the Municipal Bond Department.
Upon retirement, Breaker became a consummate world traveller visiting five continents and
over seventy countries, many of them more than once. Closer to home, Primo covered all fifty
states as well.
Breaker was a sports enthusiast. He was at old Polo Grounds for his first NY Giants game:
Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles (1948). He was there for opening day at Yankee Stadium:
Yankees vs. Washington Senators (1949). In 1962 Charlie became a NY Mets fan and was
excited to attend one of the Mets’ five World Series games. He attended the NY Knicks games
in their championship season. And he supported the New York Islanders as a proud season
box owner from their first game through their four championship seasons.
