TRISTE NOUVELLE Mario Brisebois n'est plus des nôtres. On se connaissait depuis plus que 40 ans - lui "Shawinigan", moi "Trois-Rivières." Le premier à ouvrir une bière en fin d'après-midi dans la salle de presse au tennis au Parc Jarry et toujours plein d'humour. Il ne méritait pas de souffrir comme ça à la fin de sa vie. Une grande présence et un bon gars de perdu. RIP Mario.
