John A. Losak
On Thursday, June 17, 2021 "Johnny," John Andrew Losak went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ from Bridgeport Hospital with his loving sister Helen Olga by his side. John fought a courageous battle against cancer for over six years successfully completing treatments. He was born in Bridgeport on January 10, 1957. Johnny was the son of the late John Losak and Olga Fil Losak. John was a Harding High School alumnus. He graduated from Sacred Heart University with a B.S. degree in Psychology and Sociology. He studied forensic science under Dr. Henry Lee through the Bridgeport Police Department.
John was gifted with an extraordinary mechanical talent. He rebuilt Helen's 1965 Ford Mustang engine and many cars he owned. He loved auto restorations and was in the process of restoring a 1968 Corvette. He attended many auto shows throughout the years.
While in high school, John worked as an Arthur Murray Dance Instructor teaching ballroom, salsa and contemporary dance lessons. He completed Karate/Martial Arts classes. After high school, he worked as a machinist before joining the Bridgeport Police Department in 1983 as a Patrol Officer. He rose to the rank of Sergeant working in Patrol, Internal Affairs, Supervisor of the Traffic Division and finally in the Detective Bureau. John retired from the Bridgeport Police Department with 35 years of dedicated service. Everyone he worked with and helped stated he was a nice person. Johnny will be greatly missed especially by his sister, Helen Olga, family and friends.
Beside his sister, Helen Olga Losak, John is survived by cousins living in Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Mrs. Cathy Dziubak and husband Andrew, their children Ann and Roman with spouses and children, Ms. Mary Fil and her son Jerry Fil and his wife Christine and their children.
