John, Kate, Louise, Lora, Mark and Mrs. Soucy: Please accept my heart-felt condolences on the loss of your dad and husband. As you know, he was an amazing man. I have very fond and vivid memories of him as a father and husband to you as well as my first real employer. The work values he instilled in me helped me to become the person I am today. I could never thank him enough. He truly was one of a kind. Best to you all. Don Lebel

Mrs. Soucy, Louise, Lora, Kate, Mark, John and your families; my condolences for the loss of your Dad. Lloyd and I were talking about how wonderfully kind and patient he was with us boys as we toiled away in the garage between your house and ours. We would spend hours in that place working on the various toys we had as kids and your dad was always great at helping us without doing it all for us, giving us a great sense of accomplishment and the skills that would later help us all in life.
He had a wonderful attitude in life and exemplified it throughout his actions.
And he had a motorcycle and was not a hoodlum, man I thought that was so cool.
My best to you all.

Dear Mrs. Soucy, Mark, Kate, Lora, John, Louise and families, my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Mr. Soucy always had a smile on his face coming down Lonesome Pine Trails!! And I always looked forward to sharing supper with the family…stuffed (?) meatballs! He probably gave up a few of his so I could eat to my heart’s content!! That was his generosity! Praying that all your fond memories and strong faith help in this difficult time. He is certainly a special angel smiling down on his family! Love, Phyllis Michaud Wilson

To Gloria and all of the Soucy family, we were so saddened to hear of Al’s passing. He was and will always be a wonderful man and lifelong family friend of the Johnsons . What wonderful parties you all had together with your Fort Kent friends over the years at Cross Lake and Eagle Lake.. Al was always there to take Dad golfing and was so patient with him on the golf course . He would always let Dad keep score and I’m sure Dad would cheat to make sure he would win ! Or Dad wouldn’t remember how many strokes he had so Al never had a chance to win ?? !! We have some wonderful brunch gatherings/memories at the Marriott in South Portland that we will cherish forever. Bless Mr. Soucy and of all your family at this difficult time.
Sending our prayers and deepest sympathies to you all. XOXOX LOVE from Paul Johnson, Linda , Peter and Steve Johnson and families..
