HUDSON FALLS --- Harold Earl Breault Jr. (Skip), 71, of Hudson Falls, passed away on Thursday, February 10, 2022, after a life well lived.

Born July 5, 1950, in Springfield, VT he was the son of the late Harold Earl Breault Sr. and Martha Emily Albright.

Skip or Skipper as most would have known him, was a Wartime Veteran, serving twice. He was first drafted in 1969, then enlisted in 1971. Skipper spent three and a half years serving his country, in which two and a half was served overseas. He was awarded two medals and one badge: the National Defense Service Medal, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, along with the Marksmanship Badge.

He was a hard-working man who dabbled in many trades, but if you asked him, he'd tell you he was a roofer. He loved his children more than anything. He was one of the best pool players in the 518 and taught many how to shoot a good game. In his early years, he helped his sister Patty care for their brothers and sisters and as a young adult, he continued to raise his brother Danny.

Harrington Jr. and their seven children, Stephen, Jae, Amanda, Brittany, Andrew, Abigail, and Isaiah of Glens Falls; Scott David Winnie and his three children, Austin, Adrianna, and Gianna of Glens Falls; and Christina Marie Anderson, her husband Robert and their three sons, Robert, Rocco, and Christopher of Hudson Falls; six brothers, Theron Baker, Paul Breault (Hope), Danny Breault, Melvin O'Dell (Irmy), Harold Walker (Nicole) and Karl Thompson (Mary Ellen); twelve sisters, Cheryl Perez, Jeanie Scripture (Steven), Debbie Fish (Vernon), Susan Trammell, Jody LaLonde, Roberta Floyd (Scott), Candice Davis, Daryel Smith (Robert), Cheryl Hutchens (William), Denise Adams (James), Robin Armstrong (Mike), and Wendy Carroll (William); two uncles, Bruce and Mitchell Breault; twelve nephews, William, Neil, Keith Jr., Brian, Harold, Jeremy, Joel, Robert (Guy), Eric, Travis, and Leo; seven nieces, Renee, Patty, Jeanie, Angela, Terrah, Tricia Ann-Marie, and Tammy; also many more extended family members, as well as his life-long friend, Lisa Mickel.
