Lyne, Alain, Réjeanne
C’est avec tristesse que je viens de prendre connaissance du décès d’Alban en faisant des recherches sur internet car je n’avais plus de nouvelles de lui depuis quelques années.
J’ai connu Alban lors d’un de ces voyages en France avec Lyne et j’ai beaucoup aimé le personnage. Nous n’avions pas le même âge mais je l’ai beaucoup apprécié. Il avait de grande qualité de cœur, sa famille était très importante pour lui et ses amis aussi.
Je garde précieusement le livre qu’il a écrit sur sa vie et « quelle vie ».
Il gardera une place particulière dans mon cœur.
Sincères condoléances à vous trois.

Alban came from France to Quebec City, built his home for a family of twelve in Qc. He had his own business providing jobs for dozens of Quebecois and sustaining his family. Giovani met Alban who wanted to introduce his new fianceRejeanneto us. The men went to discuss projects and we were left alone.Then Rejeanne said " don't you recongnize me? " and I went " no way". We were neighbors when we were 5yo.I almost fainted. 5 years passed, Giovani n I moved to Mia. 1969,a phone call from the Bahamas, Alban a pregnant Rejeanne and Alain were in route to Mia. clothes, belongings ,car were left behind due to ship repairs. We shared foods, shelters, kids clothes, toys, hopes n laughters. Alban worked with Giovani n was able to get on his feet. We always managed to keep in touch and maintained a friendship that will last for ever. Adieux dear friend, The memories are fond.

To my children Alain and Lynepart1
Your father was a dreamer and loved to pursue new ventures throughout his life. You both and myself were a large part of his dreams and ambitions. We held on together no matter what and managed to keep our family united even after your father and I were apart. Birthdays Holidays, Mother's Day, Father's Day
sicknesses or fun times, there was a family bonds that was not going to fade away. Ups and downs, rain or shine, we loved him took care of him and watched over him in his weak moments or needs. We helped each other, nothing was going to take this family apart. How beautiful is that and how lucky that made us to be able to share that much with him. He's leaving us with so many memories that will last us forever. we were able to document our lives together through pictures, old movies and his latest moments with you kids. Thank you God for blessing us and giving my babies a wonderful father who loved them so much.

To Al and Lyne,Part2
Upon his retirement your Dad sat down and made sure we would know about his tumultuous life by writing his own biography for all of us. I remember him calling me so many times to help him remembering dates, times and places. Your father was relentless.
He was also stubborn, impatient, explosive and loud at times. Now we're going to miss ~almost~ all of it, but in the end we loved him no matter what.
My beautiful persons you became, my son Alain and daughter Lyne, let's pray for your Dad's eternel peace and never forget this brave and extraordinary father you had.
Love you both forever and no matter what, your Mom.

I take comfort, as I'm sure Alban's family and friends do, in knowing that Alban is now indeed in a better place.
Alban was very much a man's man or perhaps more aptly, a "Frenchman’s man" - steadfast in his views, with an unwavering ego but also a joie de vivre that drew people and myself to him.
I knew Alban for the better part of 30 years and I owe him a debt of gratitude for introducing me to such simple pleasures as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, crevettes et rémoulade blanc, Lillet and of course Cognac - from his birthplace.
I will always have fond memories of sharing a Gin & Tonic with Alban on many a Christmas Eve. Au revoir my friend, you will be missed but never forgotten.

Bien chers Alain et Line, je viens vous présenter mes sincères condoléances pour le décès de votre papa. Ca m'a fait beaucoup de peine car lorsqu'il venait en France, nous avons passés de bons moments entre les repas et les longues discussions. Que de souvenirs. J'espère que nous aurons l'occasion de nous parler de temps en temps.

I have had the extreme pleasure of calling Alban Briand one of my best friends for the last 22 years. I have been with him during his best times and and his most trying moments. All who know of our relationship would say - no way, but through time and patience I grew to Love him as a mentor and one who in some way reminded me of a father that passed when I was but a child.
Alban had endured the ravages of war as my father did and perservered through it all. He was a devoted family man that placed his children above all else.
In his last years he lived with Rejeanne and I and I was able to speak with him on his life and its struggles and he never faltered as to what his dedication to his family was.
Alban was a Brave Man Rest in Peace my friend.

C’est avec tristesse que nous avons appris le décès de papa étant loin de lui lors de ses derniers jours. Nous n’oublierons pas les merveilleux moments passés autour d’une bonne table. Fin gourmet et gourmand, il nous faisait saliver à nous décrire les grandes bouffes qu’il avait faites en France. Il nous a aussi surpris par la qualité de son texte autobiographique. Il nous y fait prendre conscience de sa témérité et de son goût pour l’aventure. Arrivé au Québec avec pour seul bagage son métier, il a travaillé pour un entrepreneur avant de lancer sa propre entreprise. Plus tard, il abandonnera tout pour repartir à zéro en Floride sans maîtriser la langue. C’est remarquable et nous garderons comme un précieux souvenir son autobiographie. Lyne, Alain nous vous souhaitons nos plus sincères condoléances ainsi qu’à votre mère Réjeanne et nous vous remercions d’en avoir pris soin au cours des dernières années. Ses enfants, leurs conjoints ainsi que les petits enfants.

I want to express my most sincere condolences to the immediate family of Alban Briand notably his immediate daughters and sons that still live in Quebec, Canada and France and to Lyne, Alain and Réjeanne and all those that loved him. He sure will be missed by all of us and remembered as a sincere man that loved life and specially being in the presence of his entire family and friends.
The last time I saw Alban was in Florida, January 2003 when I was visiting my sister and we had a family gathering. I told him that he had not changed at all. My biggest regret is to not have seen Alban more often for reasons that we were living in different places and countries.
Alban, now that God has taken you for good, I know you will be in peace and happy but most importantly you will be present in our heart forever.
Au revoir Alban, tu mérites le ciel et tu vas nous manquer à tous et aussi à toute la famille Brousseau du Québec.
Respecfully,
Raynald, Johanne, Nicolas, Andréanne Brousseau

Alban etait un ami d'enfance, une pere d'une grande famille de dix enfants
Alban avait ses racines en France et surtout en Charente ou il a grandi Alban a toujour garder un lien avec son pays dont il etait fier
Alban n'avait pas peur de la mort, seulement triste de laisser derriere ceux qu'il aimait.
Alban avait un secret sur les dernieres annees de sa vie, c'etait de ne pas avoir revu son ami Francis, mais c'est un recomfort de penser qu'ils se sont deja retrouves ou ils sont parti se reposes. Andre ChadoutaudDede pour toi Alban. Mes enfants Frederic et Laurent ainsi que mon frere Luc qui ont sejournes en vacance chez Alban, ainsi qu'un autre ami Poitevin le tiendront en memoire eternellement.

Alain and Lisa,
We only knew your dad through the colorful stories Lisa would tell us. What a character your dad was. You should be very proud of the way that you honored him at the end of his life by care that only family can give him. Always know you did the right thing and you have made memories even in those last short months that will stick with you. Thank you for honoring your father. We love you and are praying for you daily.
Love you both,

God Bless you and may you have Peace.
