Mark Brisman Obituary - Death Notice and Service Information

Armonk, New York

Give a Little, Get a Little
Could they have had less in common?

She was an actress with traveling in her toes, an adventurous career in her dreams. He was stiff, proper Dudley Do-right. By age 5, he had mapped out his life: lawyer, wife in the suburbs, raising their kids. When Juliette Steuer met Mark Brisman, he was 19 going on 40.

The relationship worked, because sometimes opposites prod each other in the best ways. He gave her stability; she loosened him up. He managed to jump in a few fountains at college, and she married him, moved to Westchester and stayed home with their two young children.

Meanwhile, back at the office — Harris Beach, a law firm with a branch on the 85th floor of 2 World Trade Center — Mr. Brisman, 34, worked exhaustively, for his family's sake. If he was seen as old-fashioned in his treatment of women (as delicate flowers who need protection), he was also regarded as a can-do, meticulous guy, supersmart and assured. He was awarded his long- sought partnership posthumously.

He knew himself. "I'm not a babe magnet," he said. "I'm a baby magnet." Formal with adults, he whooped freely with small people, especially his own. A snapshot from Labor Day weekend: Mr. Brisman playing happily with children, his tall frame folded into a kiddie airplane at Adventureland.

I knew Mark and we were friends growing up in Merrick. Michelle of course as well, as the entire Family.
There has never been one anniversary where I have not prayed for your Children, your Family, all of you. I am sorry that we lost touch over time, but I have never ever forgotten the Brismans. This man, even if I only knew him as a kid and Young Man, was ALWAYS the Brightest, the Happiest, and one of the Kindest people I have ever known. I cannot recall a time Mark did NOT Smile!...

Mark,

My son, now 15 years old, and I are running the 9/11 race tomorrow in your honor. I think of you and your family every year since that day. I'm so happy to see that Juliette and your children are doing well. Miss you.

Your ADA and Bar Bri friend Jennifer

Dearest Brisman Family,

It is so wonderful to see the continuous love showed for Mr Brisman. Even after these many years Mark's memories are permanently embedded by him in their hearts. He obviously has a heart of gold to have touched so many lives in a positive way.
