Born on March 11, 1947, in Easton, PA, he was the son of the late Samuel C., Sr. and Anna M. Brunetti Losagio.

Sam started as a drummer with his first band and a union musician at age 14.

He went on to be The Amazing Kreskin's first road manager for many years while running his own Sam Losagio Entertainment Agency. With 60 years in the entertainment field he was a part of so many generations of weddings, birthdays, charity events and funerals, providing entertainment and music, and creating jobs for entertainers with his persistent drive.

He is survived by his loving wife of 27 years, Nancy Gottwald-Losagio; his sons, Bryan Losagio and his longtime companion, Joleen Miller, of Easton, PA, and Jason Losagio and his wife, Edith, of Lower Nazareth, PA, along with his precious granddaughter, Madison, and soon to arrive Samuel Michael Losagio.
