Lewis R. Losey

The world lost an incredible husband, friend, father, step-father (although to Lew, there was no step - he was simply a father and grandfather), grandfather and great-grandfather on November 2, 2020.
Lewis Losey, 82 years young, passed away at his home in Urbana, New York, which he shared with the love of his life, Nellie.
Lew was a United States Navy veteran and then retired from the Veteran's Administration.
He was predeceased by his brothers, Victor and Jack,
his son, Andy Potter, and his grandson, Jesse Pruden. Lew is survived by his partner in life, Nellie Losey; his brothers, Jim Losey and Benjamin Losey;
