Henry Bohay, late of Regina, SK, passed away peacefully on September 3, 2024 two days short of his 98th birthday. Henry was predeceased by his parents, John and Anna Bohay, along with seven brothers and sisters as well as numerous other loved ones and extended family members.

Henry is survived by his wife of 65 years, Eleanor; his children, Daryl (Gloria), Darcy (Leanne), and Sherry (Robert); grandchildren Kimberly (Michael), Curtis (Lexy), Cassandra (Cody), Benjamin (Alecia), Alyssa, and Victoria; along with 7 great-grandchildren, Hailie, Christian, Nora, Clara, Paxton, Paislee and Jacob. He is also survived by his sisters Rosie, Sophie (Albert), his brother Myron (Helen), sister-in-law Lydia Bohay, sister-in-law Gladys (Dennis) and many nieces and nephews.

Henry was born on September 5, 1926 to John and Anna Bohay in Goodeve, SK. He grew up on the farm where he enjoyed training horses, trapping animals, and instigating numerous shenanigans with his siblings. He worked on the farm until he met the love of his life, Eleanor. He married Eleanor Temple in Melville, SK at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church on September 27, 1958. They moved to Regina, SK shortly after where he started working at E&P, which later became Westburne, until he retired in 1991.

In his pastime, Henry enjoyed playing baseball (and cheering for the Blue Jays), curling, golfing and of course his beloved Roughriders, even though they were frustrating at times. He could often be found in the stands cheering on his grandchildren for nearly every single activity. In his later years, he could be found berry picking, tending to his garden or in the kitchen cooking for his family. Henry and Eleanor were also able to travel to many destinations including Hawaii, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Disneyland and many road trips and bus tours.

Celebration of Henry’s Life will be held on Thursday, September 12, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. in New Hope Lutheran Church, 370 McIntosh Street North, Regina, SK. Interment in Riverside Memorial Park Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Saskatchewan Lung Association or New Hope Lutheran Church. The family would like to thank the staff on Unit 6A in the Regina General Hospital for taking such good care of Henry during his short stay in the hospital.
