Billy was a beloved print rep when I worked in advertising. It seemed like every day was a great day to Billy. I was thrilled to meet up with him again -- a couple of decades later -- when I took a beginner letterpress class at the Museum of Printing. I have the pleasure now of using a furniture cabinet I purchased from Billy, a daily reminder of just a nice guy. My sincere condolences to his family.

A good guy to have at the Museum of Printing, I loved the pieces he did for the Amalgamated Printers Association. He was a letterpress nut's letterpress nut. You'll be missed, Mr. Soucy.

I made several purchases from Bill before I ever met him but when I did meet him we were like old friends. We would go years without seeing each other and then at another meeting of printers it would be like no time had passed. We had a lot of laughs. It was good to know you Billy.

Billy contributed so much to the Museum of Printing. Whether it was serving on the board or going out to collect tons of donated printing equipment out of damp basements he was always ready to help. Billy was always cracking a joke. His knowledge of letterpress printing will be missed very much. He knew what thousands of letterpress items were, what they were used for and whether they had any value. So long Billy, and thanks for all your help.

I met Billy while he was volunteering at the Museum of Printing down in MA. We were discussing printers we know and don´t know. I´d mentioned someone who printed an endearing eulogy about their cat. I gushed about how funny it was and how I´d like to meet the person who printed it as I thought we´d have a good laugh and I´d enjoy them. He asked "Who is the author, the printer? Surely there´s a name attached to it." Told him I´d look and see who did print it. Got home, pulled the print out and Bam! Billy Soucy was the perpetrator. He let me hush about him all day with a straight face. We became instant friends. And as he wrote about his cat "He was my friend and I miss him."
Rest Easy, Billy, you were easily one of the best.

Billy was my print rep for many years. I worked with him at Country Journal Magazine, and later at NMHSchool. He was showing off some pamphlets he had just printed for CJM, to my future boss at NMH and helped me land a job there in 1984. I remember him as gentlemanly and charming with a droll sense of humor. The photo was taken in the mid-80s on the Belle of Brattleboro at a Country Journal event. May he rest in peace.
