Then in 1960, he was a member of the three-person trust overseeing Trans World Airlines' jet financing plan. He was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 1979. Breech was a 33rd degree Freemason. His induction to that degree was highlighted in the October 8, 1956 issue of Life magazine. The Breech School of Business at Drury University is named in his honor due to his donation. The Louise G. Wallace Hospital in Lebanon, Missouri was renamed Breech Medical Center in 1979. The hospital was replaced by a new facility, Mercy Hospital Lebanon, in 1999. A Great Lakes freighter acquired by the Ford Motor Co.'s dedicated fleet was renamed in his honor until the ship's sale in 1988. As of 2017, that freighter sailed for Lower Lakes Transportation as the Ojibway."Ojibway". (en)
