YARS mourns loss of a wingman

It is with great sadness that YARS mourns the loss of Technical Sgt. Louis Fusco, who passed away unexpectedly Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2013 in Austintown, Ohio. Fusco joined the Air Force Reserve in 2004 and served with the 76th Aerial Port Squadron as a “Port Dawg” here for the last eight years. His career in service to the United States included deployments to Afghanistan and forward operating locations in Southwest Asia. Technical Sgt. Fusco was a valued member of 76APS and will be sorely missed by his wingmen here, and throughout the Air Force Reserve.
