Henry Joseph Soucy

Just now heard of Henry's passing. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. I worked with him at CKTV back in the 80's and 90's. He was great and a winderful sense of humour Kushluktuk Henry.

Dear Uncle Doc, As a kid I remember being so excited that you were coming to visit. Couldn’t wait for your stories and of course your magic tricks. I’m sure I checked later behind my ear for more coins

I worked at CKCK-TV through the late 70's part time weekends and evenings. So I didnt work with him a lot. But his presence stood out. I usually arrived at 5pm just before the 6 o'clock news when things were hectic. I was telecine, so I couldn't get involved in the studio, as I set up news slides that would get organized or changed last minute (No green screen in those days). Once the broadcast was over, I would head into the studio to help with take down But Henry Soucy was one of the influences that always had time for an upstart 30 years his younger like me. He would set up our weekend plans when he was off and showed us what was required for the weekend sets both for news and Saturday night Kingo BINGO. He was highly respected by many. May he rest in peace.

Henry was a warm-hearted, sweet man with a gentle spirit. He was just plain fun to be around and always made you smile. You will be missed. Sincere condolences to all of you.

Dear Soucy Family, I lived next door to Henry and his family during the 60s,70s and 80s. Cherished memories on Rothwell St as my parents were very fond of Henry and Lil. In 1973, Henry was my confirmation sponsor in the Catholic Church. I also had the privilege of working with Henry at CKCK TV. When I first started there in 1977 we would ride in together and recall many “white outs”traveling the #1 highway to the station. When I moved out east in 1988 I always looked forward to coming back to my family home and walking next door to chat with Henry. Godspeed Henry. Proud to have been your neighbour and colleague.

Dear Soucy Family. I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to all of you. I worked at CKCK from 1957 to 1966 and I was Doc's assistant for 2 years during that time. He was one of the nicest men I have ever had the privalage of knowing. Working with Henry was a real joy I looked forward every day to assisting him as we lit up the studio. A great sense of humor a real pal. Along with all of you he will be greatly missed by all of us who knew him. Fred Wagman S.O.M.

Henry had a comfortable ease about his presence that made anyone feel comfortable any time we met we had a great conversation and lots of laughs and smiles my condolences on behalf of myself and staff at Theo Bills and also all my extended family may his memory be eternal Rest In Peace!

So sorry to hear the news about Henry but so glad that I have so many happy memories of working with him back in the heyday of CKTV. I could always count on him to make me laugh every time I was in the studio and the Kushluktuk story will always be one of my favourites. It's why I was so happy to return the favour and perform my Portuguese comedian routine at his roast back in the good old 70s! Thanks for touching my life, Henry, and making me laugh out loud!

May the Soucy families take comfort from their many wonderful memories.h

There are so many stories I could share working side by side with Henry. The laughs we had in the studio were some of the best times of my life. Kushluktuk, my friend. I will miss you.

Henry was our lighting guy at CKCK Television when I worked there from 1958 to 1962 (and for many years after that). He was a wonderful colleague, and always made me look a lot better on camera than I really did. I enjoyed meeting up with him at our CK reunions over the years -- a lovely person.

I will always remember uncle Doc with a smile and such gratitude. To know someone so kind and likeable is truly a gift. As kids, he was the uncle who would gather the gang of boisterous young cousins and entertain us with magic, like pulling a quarter from behind our ears and to our delight letting us keep it. Over the years, regardless of all the changes, he continued to keep that warm connection he had made so long ago. I know I am not alone in saying that I sure will miss him. His soft hearted ways and his gentle presence will always be cherished. With much love and caring to all of his loved ones. Marcelle

Henri was such a friendly man and so welcoming. He was my grandmother’s first cousin and he was genuinely interested in getting to know all his family members and what was going on in their lives. He took a genuine interest in others and was loved for that very reason. He was a great man who I enjoyed visiting with when I had the chance to see him. May the great memories he shared with family and friends always be remembered, and my thoughts and prayers are with Henri’s family.

Such an incredible man! Henry always had a smile on his face. He was so welcoming and always made you feel so special like you mattered in this world. Such a kind man with the most beautiful kindred spirit. Wishing you peace and joy Henry as you rejoin your beautiful wife, family and friends in eternity. Blessings to Colette and family. May you find strength and peace in knowing that he is still shining down on you, protecting and guiding you.

To the Soucy Family, May you find strength in the love and support from those around you and comfort in your memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.
