Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryLOUIS BRISEBOIS It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of Louis Brisebois on Sunday June 27, 2010 at the Health Sciences Centre at the age of 80 years. Louis was predeceased by his son Raymond. He is survived by his wife Anne, his children Lucie (Mark), Doris, Roger, Cécile (Eric) Guillemot, and Léo (Hilda) as well as ten grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. Louis was born and raised in South Junction MB and lived all his adult life in Winnipeg. He retired at the age of 55 from the City of Winnipeg then perfected his craft of woodcarving. He won many awards, and as a new challenge, he learnt how to repair violins and constructed and sold several of his own handmade. Louis was a self-taught musician and of all the instruments he played, his favorite was the fiddle. Louis was a strong believer in education and never stopped learning. He was a quiet man with a huge presence and a great sense of justice who was often called on or volunteered to serve his community. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CancerCare Manitoba, 675 McDermot Avenue Room ON1160, Winnipeg MB R3E 0V9. DESJARDINS 233-4949 1-888-233-4949

I regrettably never spent much time with my Grandpa as I got older, but the time I spent with him as a young kid will not be forgotten. A great wood carver and he also was very friendly and caring. Seeing this article now 8 years later has brought tears to my eyes. I know he's in a better place now and I will see him when I get there. Love you grandpa.

Noella Laurence and family offer their sincerest condolences. Louis was a fine man who extended a very caring hand to his family. Noella remembers being entertained when she was young by Louis and his music. Unfortunately, Noella was out of town when Louis passed away and could not attend the funeral. - Posted by: Judy Marsales (Family) on: Jul 05, 2010
