Obituary: Henry Osias Brisson ("Hank") Born 20, 1928 ~ Deceased 23, 2011 Hank was born in the Tilbury community of Ontario, Canada to Omer Brisson and Agnes Brisson (nee Desnoyer). Hank was one of two sons (Oscar being the other) and five sisters (Alice, Annette, Lucille, Rita, and Jeanne). Agnes soon passed away, but when Hank was five years old, Omer married Adrienne Prudhomme, immediately expanding the family to include Adriennes six children (Marcel, Madeline, Frances, Marie, Pauline, and Patricia). Omer and Adrienne then had one more son, Pete. Hank spent his summers working on the farm and grew to be a strong, young man adept at performing handstands from precarious perches. He left school after ninth grade to pursue a less academic path. Hank worked several factory jobs, including a soda pop factory and a radiator factory. He drove a taxi for a time before finding his calling as a tradesman painter. Ultimately, Hank became a true jack-of-all trades and master do-it-yourselfer. His talents also included singing and playing harmonica. Hank met the love of his life, Antoinette (Toni) Markham in 1949 at a family gathering at the house of his brother, Oscar. Oscars wife, Lorraine, was Tonis cousin. Hank and Tonis first date was to attend high mass together on Christmas Eve. Hank and Toni married 21, 1955 in Windsor. Toni had had two children from a previous marriage: daughter, Sandy, and son, Gerry. Hank adopted Sandy, but Gerry opted for emancipation. Hank and Tonis first child, Roger, was born a year later in of 1956. Another son, Ron, was born two years later in 1958, followed by their last child, their son, Chris, in 1960. Sandy married Bill Pheby, a Windsor policeman, in 1964. In 1960, Hank traveled across the United States with his pal, Sonny Boissonneault, selling music books. This brought the adventuresome pair to sunny California for a visit with Sonnys sister, Louise and her husband, Dick. Dick and Louise would later become Hanks most endearing lifelong friends. Realizing that he could paint year-round in the warm, dry climate, Hank began making plans to move his young family. The plans were realized in of 1965, when Hank, Toni, and the three boys drove cross-country to Long Beach, California, in a brand new Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser station wagon. All of the familys possessions rode in a wooden box strapped to the roof racks above the car. Hanks uncle, Osias, and aunt, Estelle, lived in Long Beach. Hanks cousin Rene and Renes wife, Pauline, lived nearby in Azusa. Hank very much enjoyed the company of his extended California family. In 1968 the family moved to the Los Altos neighborhood of Long Beach. This would be Hanks home for the remainder of his life. Hank was a proud lifetime member of the International Brotherhood of Painters and Allied Trades. He spent much of his career working for Tom Lang doing fire jobs. Tom passed away, Hank worked at various locations dispatched by Local 256. He took particular pride in the work he did helping to renovate the Queen Mary. Hank was also a District 36 delegate. retiring, Hank took up bowling again, and he and Toni often topped the rosters of the local senior leagues. Hank scored a number of gold medals in the Senior Olympics. Hanks other great passion in his later years was to eat at Town Buffet, where he took Toni for lunch almost every day. Hank died of a heart attack at his home in Long Beach on morning. His health had declined in recent weeks, and he knew his end was coming. Hank is survived by his beloved wife of 56 years, Toni; his daughter Sandy; son Gerry and his wife Linda; son Roger and his wife Ulrike; son Ronnie and his wife Rose; son Chris and his wife Gaye; granddaughter Danielle; grandsons Richard and Ryan; granddaughter Jenelle, and great-granddaughters Nicole and Ashley. Hank was ever helpful to family, neighbors, and friends. He was always quick with a cute joke. Hank will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Signature Hank joke: Why did the Eskimo take a bath in tide? Because it was too cold out tide.

Obituary: Antoinette ("Toni") Brisson 29, 1924 \ 18, 2012 Toni was born in Stoney Point, Ontario, Canada to Leo Albert Markham and Corrine Alma Markham (nee Brissette). Toni was one of eleven children; five girls: Bernice, Juliette (aka Sister Corrine) (deceased), Toni, Terry, and Gerry; and six boys: Ted (deceased), Gabe (deceased), Howard (deceased), Stan (deceased), Clarence, and Lee. The Markhams moved to Windsor, Ontario in the 1930s when the family lost their farm during the Great Depression. Toni furthered her education at St. Marys Academy and enjoyed playing baseball, where she earned the nickname, Tiger. During the war years, Toni worked in a factory, along with many other women, manufacturing rifles (a real Rosie the Riveter). Toni married young, against the wishes of her mother, and soon had two children: daughter, Sandy, and son, Gerry Vetor. The marriage dissolved after only a few years (why the marriage failed nobody knows; for the rest of her days, Toni never ever spoke of her first marriage). Toni then lived independently for years, and during those years family members helped with raising Sandy and Gerry. In 1949, Toni met Henry (Hank) Brisson at the home of Hanks brother Oscar, who was married to Tonis cousin, Lorraine Roy. Hank and Tonis first date was to attend high mass together. dated for six years before Hank successfully won her hand in marriage in of 1955 (i.e., after Toni told him to shit or get off the pot). Toni and Hank shared a common love for bowling and brought home many trophies during these courtship years. Toni and Hank had three sons over the next five years: Roger, Ron, and Chris. Hank adopted Sandy, but Gerry opted for emancipation. In , 1965, Toni, Hank, and the three boys emigrated to Long Beach, California, where Hanks uncle, Osias, called home. Sandy had married in 1964 and so remained in Canada with her husband, Bill. In 1968, the Brissons moved to a nice house with a swimming pool in the Los Altos area of Long Beach, which was a great place to raise the boys. Toni was actively involved in her childrens lives volunteering with the PTA, Little League baseball, and the Boy Scouts. One of the proudest moments of her life was when she was bestowed the Honorary Service Award by the PTA after serving as the local PTA president for a number of years. In later years, Toni attended many classes at Long Beach City studying nutrition and physical education. quitting smoking, Toni strived to live a healthy life. She prided herself on eating proper meals and getting exercise. Toni loved wogging (fast-paced walking) a couple of miles per day. She encouraged neighbors to join her, but few could keep up. Toni loved to travel and would always opt to gallivant rather than sit home. Every year she would travel to Canada to attend the Markham family reunion. Family meant so much to her. She exchanged letters often with many of her brothers, sisters, and nieces. Tonis favorite trip of all time was to Germany where she met the family of Rogers wife, Rike. Toni thereafter would correspond via mail with Rikes father who could communicate only in German. Tonis good neighbor, Lilo, who was from Germany, would interpret the letters for her. Tonis favorite hobby was to take photographs of scenery and flowers and use these photos to make greeting cards. She would layer multiple mats under the photo with a real flare for accent colors. These photo greeting cards were sent to family and friends for special occasions and were cherished more than any store-bought cards. Other photos were turned into magnets which adorned every square inch of Tonis refrigerator. Toni was once featured in a magazine article for her refrigerator magnet collection. Hank retired, the couple once again renewed their love for bowling and participated in multiple leagues. outlasted several of their local bowling alleys which were torn down one-by-one over the years. Toni and Hank participated in the Senior Olympics, sponsored by the Parks and Recreation Department, winning numerous gold medals for singles and mixed doubles. This continued right into their 80s. Tonis health declined in her senior years, most dramatically after she was forced to give up her daily wogging due to knee pain. Toni had quadruple heart by-pass surgery on her 75th birthday. Thereafter, she had a pacemaker installed, her gallbladder removed, and a femoral artery by-passed. This led Toni to develop her motto, Im a survivor. Toni began to experience signs of dementia a few years ago after suffering a hemorrhage in her brain caused by unpredictable levels of blood thinners. Compounding Tonis circulatory problems, her kidney function also degraded over the years nearly to the point of failure. Toni departed for the Pearly Gates on the morning of , 18, 2012. Sadly, there will be a hole in many lives now that Toni is gone, a hole once filled with her gentle love and understanding. She will be greatly missed by her children: Sandy, Gerry, Roger, Ronnie, and Chris; her grandchildren: Danielle, Richard, Ryan, and Jenelle; and her great-grandchildren: Nicole and Ashley. Toni passed just six months after Hank, a couple weeks shy of her 88th birthday, and just one month shy of the wedding of her great-granddaughter, Nicole.
