HARRY THOMAS HOY

January 26, 1925 - February 1, 2019

Harry passed away peacefully at the Hawkesbury General Hospital surrounded by his loved ones. He is survived by his beloved and devoted wife of 73 years Bernice Grant, his daughter; Diane (d. John Scholefield), his sons; Robert, Richard (Kelly Doherty), his 5 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. Harry, the youngest of 4 children was pre-deceased by his 2 sisters; Alice Moussette, Doris Paradis, his brother Clarence, and his son Kenneth.

Harry was a self-made man with an innate business sense. As the head of a successful car dealership he was deeply involved in the Montreal automotive industry. His steadfast nature ensured that he accomplished anything he set his mind to. He excelled in sports well into his senior years and was notably involved in the Montreal NHL Old Timers. Harry was passionate about the great outdoors and enjoyed many adventures flying his own airplanes to remote hunting and fishing camps. A creator in his own right, Harry embraced the challenge of constructing roads, stone walls, and all types of buildings. A dedicated family man above all else, he was never happier than when surrounded by his loved ones. He adored the children in his life and took every opportunity to share his passions with them, whether it be on the ski slopes, the golf course or in the drivers’ seat of a bulldozer. He was an exceptional individual who lived life to the fullest. He was a generous man who shared freely of his time and experience. He will be dearly missed by all of his family and friends.
