Romeo Losier

Born November 25/1905, one of 16 children of Juste Losier and Victorine Paulin de St Isidore, NB.

He married Nov. 23/1936 Anne Berthelot daughter of Joseph Berthelot and Aldea Cyr.

Romeo came to Campbellton looking for work in 1932 learnt the trade of "shoemaker", met the love of his life and stayed here. I can still see his big leather apron which protected his tall slim figure, little glasses on the tip of his nose and a big smile for us kids.

He is still alive in 1999, still smart, walks every day. He has been a widower sine 1990 or 1991.
