Soupy Sales Obituary
Sales died at Thursday night at Calvary Hospice in the Bronx, New York, said his former manager and longtime friend, Dave Usher. Sales had many health problems and entered the hospice last week, Usher said.
At the peak of his fame in the 1950s and '60s, Sales was one of the best-known faces in the nation, Usher said.
"If President Eisenhower would have walked down the street, no one would have recognized him as much as Soupy," said Usher.
At the same time, Sales retained an openness to fans that turned every restaurant meal into an endless autograph-signing session, Usher said.
"He was just good to people," Usher said.
Sales began his TV career in Detroit, where he drew a large audience on WXYZ-TV. He moved to Los Angeles in 1961.
The comic's pie-throwing schtick became his trademark, and celebrities lined up to take one on the chin alongside Sales. During the early 1960s, stars such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Curtis and Shirley MacLaine received their just desserts side-by-side with the comedian on his television show.
"I'll probably be remembered for the pies, and that's all right," Sales said in a 1985 interview.
Sales was born Milton Supman on Jan. 8, 1926, in North Carolina and grew up in Huntington, W.Va.
His greatest success came in New York with "The Soupy Sales Show" — an ostensible children's show that had little to do with Captain Kangaroo and other kiddie fare. Sales' manic, improvisational style also attracted an older audience that responded to his envelope-pushing antics.
Sales, who was typically clad in a black sweater and oversized bow-tie, was once suspended for a week after telling his legion of tiny listeners to empty their mothers' purse and mail him all the pieces of green paper bearing pictures of the presidents.
The cast of "Saturday Night Live" later paid homage by asking their audience to send in their joints. His influence was also obvious in the Pee-Wee Herman character created by Paul Reubens.
Sales is survived by his wife, Trudy, and two sons, Hunt and Tony, a pair of musicians who backed David Bowie in the band Tin Machine.

RIP Soupy Sales !
In the 60s and 70s and beyond me and my family loved to see you on tv. Simply put, your face said, "funny man" and "happy funny face with laughter on it". You did that to me and us without even trying , and without saying a word. But when you spoke with your funny face expressions, it simply amped up the tv show, lol. Thanks for entertaining us common folk and my condolences to the sales family, for your loss

Grew up watching him in NYC. I now live in Texas and watch him on JLTV. Almost 60 years later his shows are still the best on TV today. He was truly a genius. Love you Soupy:

P.S. I've just had a revelation :
You were born in Franklinton, North Carolina, but died in The Bronx.
I was born in The Bronx.
Perhaps I shall, or, at least, shall want to give up the ghost in Franklinton.
In other words,
Soupy died were I was born,
I wish to die where he was born …
This makes good sense, does it not ?
I mustravel down there to reconnoiter !

Soupy sales, I always tell the story and will always remember fondly at the tender age of 11, the kiss on the cheek as you tucked me and my best friend in for the night when you were in Traverse City Michigan probably doing something at the Cherry County Playhouse. You were visiting my friends mom and I we were having a sleep over. You were so sweet and so kind and just nice. I don't think I had ever see a man in yellow pants before! :) I remember you. RIP Mr. Sales. <3

Gee, Soupy really made me laugh, both when I was a kid, and then as a grown up. I loved it when he'd yell "HEY, POOKIE"! What a great show! Thanks, Soupy...meg

During the height of the Vietnam War I was passing through the L.A. Airport dressed in my Marine Corps uniform. Going by in the opposite direction, I saw Soupy Sales. When he saw me he started smiling and waving. I was deeply moved. It meant a lot. I have never forgotten his show of support. Christy W.

I had been a Soupy fan since I was a kid. I belonged to his fan club. I still have all my Soupy stuff along with pictures he had autographed for me, as I had the pleasure of seeing him several times in person, not only as a child, but also in my adult years. He was not only the funniest person, but one of the nicest as well you would ever want to meet. He always took the time to spend with his fans. I am truly honored to say that I was one of them. I was very saddened by his passing. I will truly miss him, but I'm glad I had the chance to know him. Rest in Peace my friend. Linda Krupinski (Citrus Springs, Fl.)

Saddened as much by realization of my own mortality as Soupy's passing, I opened the paper to read his obituary and found on the same page an editorial cartoon: The Grim Reaper walks into Soupy's dressing room only to be met with a Soupy pie in the face and that silly grin. Thanks Soupy now I will laugh until, and through,the end.

For Soupy...
WEEP NOT FOR ME
Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.
Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.
I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.
Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.
Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.
Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

I grew up in Toledo, Ohio as a kid and
watched Soupy Sales in the late 50's and 60's on TV (like thousands of us).
He was a part of my life and gave me laughs and happiness after a long day of sitting at a desk and learning in school. His comedy, White Fang, Black Tooth and guests on the show were a real treat and fantastic entertainment.
I'll keep and cherish the fond memories
of this great man, and retain a place for him in my heart ... "R.I.P. Soupy".

Soupy, May you rest in peace forever. Thank you for all the laughter, joy and comic mayhem you gave all of us back then. I agree with I Gindi from Hollywood, Fla., your passing did take the last piece of our childhood away. I also will remember you in my prayers, as well. I know Frank and Clyde are up there with you too... bringing those wonderful puppets to life again. I enjoyed Frank's take on Pookie and how he used to call to you, "Hey,Boobie"! You and Pookie were the best pairing of a comedy team on the show in the 60's. I will miss Pookie's jokes, as well as his singing and dancing, too. Most importantly, I (we) will miss you, Soupy!! I'm glad 'Youtube' is here to help keep your memory alive and well for us all. Till we all see you again, Adios Amigos!!

To the Sales Family:
The red carpet has been rolled out in heaven for Soupy. I met him in Chicago several years ago at a memorabilia show and he could not have been nicer.

Soupy, You were the greatest! A "Pie"-oneer among pioneers in the field of TV entertainment. Thank you for all of the magic, the laughter and the fun. I know you are slaying them up there with your humor. Watch out for those ladies behind the door(s). They'll surprise you everytime. I, myself, hope that when I arrive 'Up There', it will be just like 1965 again and you will be on TV entertaining us all over again with your jokes, the pies and teaching us how to DO "The Mouse'. I hope White Fang, Pookie and the rest are there with you, also. I, along with the rest of your adoring fans want to send you this loving send-off. "We Love You and We Give You a Big Kiss" (mmmmuuuuaaaa) Come on, you fans of Soupy, blow him a BIG Kiss!! he'll love it! R.I.P.-Soupy. You deserve it!

My late Father was in an elementary school play in Franklinton, NC with "Soupy" (my dad always referred to him as Milton) when they both were about 6 years old. The play was "Peter Cottontail", and of course, Soupy had the title role even back then. Thanks for all the great laughs and memories. May they both rest in peace.

So long my dear, dear friend. That is how you always made me feel as a child, as if I knew you and you were my dear friend.. A true genius of comedy and a tremendous talent.. If you grew up in the fifties and sixties then you knew how great and funny Soupy was and is.. You will always be a big part of my childhood with all of the wonderful antics with white fang and black tooth and all of the pies....I will keep your wife and sons in my prayers during this most difficult time...
