Angela,
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your husband, John. I never met him but was well aware of his great talent as a slow pitch player. I saw him on the field only a couple of times but could not help but realize he was the best player on either team. I understand that he has shown great courage battling the disease that took his life. I trust that you and your family will be able to dwell on the good times you shared. May he rest in peace!

Angela,

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your husband, John. I never knew him except as a slow pitch player. I know that in his best years he was a terrific talent both as a hitter and a fielder. I understand he battled the disease that eventually took his life for a long time. I trust you and your children will be able to dwell on the good times you had with John. May he rest in peace.

My condolences to John jr and the rest of the Brissette family on the passing of your Father John. May he rest in peace.

When I think of your Dad John sr, I think about all those early mornings at the rink or any sporting event really that you were in he was always there quietly showing his support. He was your biggest fan and I'm sure you were his.

I know this is a really hard day for you and your Mom and sister and the rest of the family but just know he'll be up there looking out for you all and he'll be quietly cheering for you as you go though the rest of your life and as you raise your own families.

Dear Angie and family,

I was so sorry to hear of John's passing. He was a quiet, kind, thoughtful man. At the ADP he showed these qualities, always helping out others and putting them at ease.
John was so very proud of all of you. May your wonderful memories lighten your sadness during this difficult time.❤
