Mr. Brisco was a devoted father to his family and was friendly and quick to help when called upon. He was known to relatives and friends as "Uncle Bud."
During his active days he was one of the major workers in constructing the canal system using mules and a fresno on the Eagle Lake and Lissie prairies. He was always willing to do a good turn and was a friendly and willing worker at all times.
Family members report that many of them have a picture of him and brother Isam astride a team of oxen with old wooden plows taken at Rock Island at about 1905 when the area was a thriving community. He was a wonderful story teller, recounting fascination tales of the old days while working cattle from Sheridan to Matagorda; and other experiences of interest especially to his grandchildren.
He shall be missed greatly by his loved ones and friends.
