BANGOR, Maine — Dennis Soucy, former CEO of St. John's Credit Union, which became Bangor FCU, died Saturday at the age of 83.
A founding member of St. John's, Soucy became the CU's president from its inception in 1956 until his retirement in 2008. He managed the CU from its modest roots, running the cooperative in the basement of St. John's Catholic Church to serve the congregation, through its growth—now a 14,000-member $125 million community charted shop.
He also served three terms as this city's mayor and six terms on city council.
"His death is a major loss for Bangor," current city councilor member Joseph Baldacci told the Bangor Daily News. "He was an enormous influence in moving the city forward and was active in every facet of City Hall."
Soucy is survived by his wife, Constance Barton Soucy, and four children.
