Mr. Speaker, Quebec has lost another sports personality. Rhéaume “Rocky” Brisebois died suddenly at the age of 75 at his home in Lac-Brome, after many years involvement in the community of Venise-en-Québec in Brome—Missisquoi.
“Rocky” Brisebois was a close friend of Maurice Richard. Well-known for his colourful expressions and his frankness, “Rocky” Brisebois worked for the newspapers Le Canada and Le Devoir , before joining the CJMS broadcast team in its glory days of the 1960s and 1970s.
I wish to express my sincere condolences to Mr. Brisebois' family and friends, and to all of his faithful listeners during all those years.
