 It is with great sadness that I relay this message to you…

Phyllis Zambo called me this evening and said that Jim passed away suddenly on Sunday morning, July 2, 2017.  Jim was 75.  Jim successfully battled pancreatic cancer a dozen years ago.  According to Phyllis he had recently suffered lung cancer and even had one lung removed.  The reports were looking good until recently and then they discovered the cancer had spread to his other remaining lung.  Phyllis said that the funeral home responsible for his services is the Beach Funeral Home.

Jim will be burred at Cape Canaveral National Cemetery located in their area.  Phyllis’s phone number is: (321) 723-3020

Announcing the passing of Master Sgt (retired) John “Jack” Schmidt. Jack retired from the 193rd in 2000, he was a Graphic Artist in the Audio-Visual section. For those that remember going through the lines during our exercises and training Jack was one of the guys who made all the signs, charts and graphs. He helped make the overhead slides we used to track all the numbers and also helped with the layout of the Scope in the old days before computers.
