William Losier

On Mon. Aug. 30, 2021, at the age of 91, Joseph William (Bill) Losier received an offer he could not refuse. It came with the promise of a one-way trip for a reunion with family and friends he had not seen in a very long time. His loved ones here understand his leaving, but nevertheless will miss his bright light, immeasurably. Among them are his loving partner, Diane Ujfalussy-Barton; sister Betty Ann Overend; nephew David Ryan and many other nieces and nephews; step-children Andrea Mauro, Dac Chisholm and Greg Chisholm. Bill has rejoined his beloved parents, Justine (Comeau) Losier, Francois (Frank) Losier and 12 brothers and sisters. Born in Miramichi, NB, Bill came to Ontario as a young man, ultimately managing an Esso station in St. Catharines. He eventually decided to try his hand at real estate which turned out to be a great decision since he became one of the most well-respected real estate appraisers in Ontario. He also taught real estate courses for a number of years at Niagara College. One of Bill's passions was playing competitive croquet at which he became quite accomplished, attending events both nationally and internationally. When his health still allowed, Bill loved to sit with pals at Cat's Caboose in St. Catharines, enjoying a few bottles of his favourite Labatt's 50. Instead of flowers or donations, Bill said to ask you to do an unexpected, unsolicited act of kindness for someone in need, in his name, if you so choose. In keeping with Bill's wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of Bill's life will be held at Cat's Caboose in the future. Please watch for announcements.
