Benedict J. Sadowski, Jr., 73, of Londonderry, NH, passed away Sunday August 18, 2019, at Elliott Hospital in Manchester, NH surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Westfield, MA on April 5, 1946, a son of Benedict and Veronica (Kuzel) Sadowski. Benny was a resident of Londonderry for the past 15 years.
