Jean-Paul Soucy, 79, of Plainville, died peacefully at his home, surrounded by his loving family, on Nov. 9, 2010. He now joins his beloved wife, Lisette (Bouchard), who predeceased him two years ago.
He was born in Canada, on May 9, 1931, one of 11 children to the late Jules and RoseAnna (Beaulieu) Soucy. Raised in Canada, he met his childhood sweetheart and love of his life, Lisette. Together they shared 49 years marriage, raising a loving family of five. A true woodsman at heart, he began a career as a lumberjack at young age, one of his favorite pastimes. His love for woodworking continued throughout his lifetime as an expert carpenter and master of many trades. He had various skills for which he was often looked upon and proudly helped others with remodeling and hand-crafting anything out of wood for his family and friends. He took great pride in his home, his gardens, and his workshop, where he could often be found. He and Lisette were proud of their heritage, returning to their home in Canada each summer for more than 15 years. He was a man who lived simply, finding the most enjoyment in being surrounded by his family, and was happiest when he was with his grandchildren. A man of great strength, patience, and humbleness, he leaves his family with many cherished memories, and will be dearly missed.
He is survived by his children, Marie Soucy, of Plainville; Diane Landry and her husband, Danny, of East Hartford; Chantale Soucy and her husband, Ghislain Caron, of Plainville and Bristol; Renee Soucy, of Plainville; and Paul Soucy and his wife, Helene, of Bristol; his adored grandchildren, Christopher, Michelle, Serge, Zacharie, Michael, Alycea, Cullen, Jean-Paul "J.P", Brendan and Timothy; and his great-grandson, Dylan. He also leaves his brothers and sisters, Huguette Belanger and her husband, Hector, of Montreal; Blondin Soucy and his wife, Emilienne, of Quebec; Sylvianne Soucy, of Quebec; Fernand Soucy and his wife, Angela, of New Brunswick; Marcel Soucy and his wife, Monic, of Montreal; Rejean Soucy and his wife, Lorraine, of Lyman, Maine; and Julien Soucy, of Quebec; and many other relatives. He was predeceased by his brother, Charles; and sisters, Odette Soucy and Marie-Paul Belanger.
A celebration of his life was held Nov. 13, 2010 at Bailey Funeral Home, Plainville, with a funeral Mass at Our Lady of Mercy Church, Plainville. Committal services will be private. Memorial donations may be made to the Plainville Community Food Pantry, P.O. Box 233, Plainville, CT 06062.
