Raymond Rosario Losardo

Raymond Rosario Losardo, beloved husband, father and grandfather died on September 1, 2025, in Conway , Arkansas.  He was 77 years old. 

Raymond was born on April 4, 1948 in Woonsocket , RI to Belaste (Ray) Losardo and Lena Maurici.  He grew up in Woonsocket and following high school, enlisted in the U.S. Navy.  He served proudly in the Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (Seabees) first in Davisville RI, and later in Vietnam, where he helped construct living quarters and facilities for fellow servicemen. He was awarded the National Defense Medal, the Vietnam service Medal with one Bronze Star and the Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal with Device (1960).

After his military years, Raymond built a long and accomplished career.  He worked for Patton's Plumbing and Heating before joining General Dynamics, where he was employed for 18 years in the construction of nuclear submarines.  He took great pride in his craftsmanship, including work on the USS Rhode Island.  He later worked for Ratheon Aircraft before taking early retirement.  In 2006, Raymond and his wife, Claire, moved to Arkansas to be closer to family. 

Raymond is survived by his wife Claire Louise Losardo, two grandchildren whom he and Claire lovingly raised, Austin Losardo and Dalton Losardo; his children,  Anthony Losardo and Gina Losardo;  his sister, Concetta Losardo, and several nieces and nephews.  He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Rosalie Levitre.
