73, passed away on January 17, 2012, born in Kingston, NY in 1938. His Air Force career took him to Viet Nam, Thailand, Greenland, Roswell, NM, Minot, ND, and Rantoul, IL, before retiring to Tucson, AZ in 1977. He will be remembered as a practical joker, witty, hard-working, and compassionate man. He spread his wealth of knowledge around in many fields, both in the Air Force for 20 years, and at TMC for almost 24 years. He loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting, and camping, and plenty of beer to go along wherever he went. He is survived by his wife of over 41 years, Susie, sister-in-law, Sharon Melone; brothers, Louis, Dave, Clifford, Henry, and sister, Augusta. Also survived by many nieces, nephews, extended family from both TMC and the Air Force, and his beloved dog, Quincy.
