Patrick R. Lausier

1927 - 2022

Patrick R. Lausier of South Windsor passed away peacefully at the age of 94 on February 6, 2022 and joined the love of his life and dance partner of 71 years, Gertrude (Legassie) Lausier. He was born on December 4, 1927, in Fort Kent, ME to the late Maxim and Louise (Coulombe) Lozier. He was predeceased by his son Steven J. Lausier as well as his grandson and namesake, Patrick S. Lausier. He was also predeceased by brothers Romeo Lozier, Edgar Lausier, Leo P. Lausier, twin brothers Albert and Gilbert Lozier and sisters, Leonie Lozier, Irene Violette and twin sisters Laurette and Juliet Lozier. He is survived by his son, Albert (Nancy) Lausier of Watertown, TN, and daughters Maxine "Mickie" (Jerry) Dame of East Haddam, CT and Catherine Cormier of Mansfield Center, CT. as well as his sister, Doris (Lionel) Cyr of Avon, CT. Nothing put a smile on his face faster then to be able to spend time with his 8 grandchildren and some of his 17 great grandchildren during his life. Pat started his service to our country at the very early age of 16 when he joined the Home Guard in Fort Kent, ME. He later joined the Army in 1946 and served during the post WWII occupation of Germany in the Constabulary, A & D Troop, 8th Tank Battalion, 6th Regiment. He was so very proud to say that he and four of his brothers served in various branches of the military at the same time in areas of Europe and the South Pacific during WWII and post WWII. He was a member of the U. S. Constabulary Assoc. and a lifelong member of VFW Post 10251 of South Windsor and at one time served as Jr. Post Commander as well as Post Chaplin. Marching in the Memorial Day Parade, placing flags on the graves of veterans and handing out poppies was an important part of his continued service to honor and support his fellow brothers. Patrick was an avid and competitive bowler who continued to bowl into his early 90's. He loved hunting and fishing around Mt. Katahdin and spending time at Millinocket Lake in Maine each year. Pat had a large extended family of nieces and nephews and loved hosting large family picnics in his backyard. He was a very social person telling jokes and family stories to make everyone feel at home. He loved his Schnauzer's Heidi, Katy and Kylie and his very favorite shepherds, Star and Lady. He had a special love of music singing as a young boy in his church in Fort Kent, ME and later took up playing the harmonica and mouth organ. His smile, laughter and sense of humor will be dearly missed by family, friends and all who knew and loved him. Calling Hours will be held on Saturday, February 19, 2022, from 1-3 p.m., at the Samsel & Carmon Funeral Home, 419 Buckland Rd., South Windsor. A Memorial Mass and burial will take place in the future, date, and time to be announced. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to a charity of the donor's choice.
