Ian Hosie Tissot

December 13, 1941 – June 27, 2021

Breezy Point, NY - Ian Hosie Tissot, 79, husband of Patricia Sullivan, passed peacefully at home on Sunday morning surrounded by loved ones and loyal pet Sinbad, of complications related to Parkinson’s disease.

Ian was born on December 13, 1941 at Victory Memorial Hospital in Brooklyn to Louis and Margaret Hosie Tissot. He and his older brother Roger grew up in Marine Park.

He attended the Virginia Military Institute and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance from New York University.

He met his loving wife Pat when summering in Breezy Point. They were married September 23, 1961. They moved to Beach 207th Street where they raised their children and entertained friends!

He was retired from his 40-year banking career at CitiBank.

A dedicated supporter of the Breezy Point community, he served 20 years in the Rockaway Point Volunteer Fire Department including a time as Deputy Chief. He also served on a number of Breezy Point Cooperative committees.

Ian owned and chartered many boats over the years to share his love of the ocean and passion for the sport of fishing with his friends, children and grandchildren. He loved to be at the beach and swim in the ocean. He was also an avid tennis player.

His children and grandchildren were his pride and joy and he often called himself “the luckiest man in the world” when surrounded by his family. His grandchildren will forever cherish Oreo’s for breakfast, being treated to any concession they desired at the circus, fishing trips, Broadway shows, surf lessons and his endless support on the sidelines of sporting events.

Ian is predeceased by his brother Roger of Boston, MA.
