Passed away peacefully at his home on September 2, 2006, in his 71st year after a courageous battle with cancer.
He is survived by his loving wife of 50 years. Donna, their children: Bev Ruddock (Wayne) of Kamloops, B.C., Greg (Jessie) of London, Ont., Sheila Palladino (Domenic) of Kamloops, B.C., Kathy Greaves (Mark) of Shelburne, Ont., and Ginger St. Amand of North Bay and his cherished grandchildren, Kayla, Erin, Josh, Gina, Emily, Matthew, Eric, Shayne, Viktoria, Christopher and Elizabeth. Leo will be sadly missed by his brother Steve Brisson (Connie), step brothers and sisters: Bill Brisson, Blaine and Yvette Brisson, Gerry and Cathy Brisson, Rita and Pat McNulty, Rosa and Dave Holmes, Pauline and Wayne Milne and families and numerous other relatives and friends.

Leo retired from the O.N.R. in 1990 with 35 years of service.

But most of all, he looked forward to spending time with all of his family, grandchildren and many friends.
