It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Joseph Delano Losh who left us on May 13, 2024 at the age of 88 years surrounded by family in his final moments. 

 

He was a man of distinct humor and was well thought of by anyone who met him. He was a cherished family man who leaves behind a legacy of family values and traditions.

After retirement, he established a company which contracted with telecommunications firms. As recently as last year he attended a reunion of his old work friends.
