ROBERT
E. RUSSELL
We
lost Robert in the 11 September attack on the
Pentagon. He was only 52 years old. It is always
hard to lose one of our own, but in this case it
was a double loss because of how we lost him. I
wish I knew him better so I might be able to
write a little something about him. But just
being a Finance NCO says a lot.
We wish his wife Teresa well.

ELWOOD HUSSEY
Submitted by
Jim Malone
It is
with deep regret that I inform you of the
passing of Elwood Hussey, a great and long time
Finance NCO. Elwood had 31 years of military
service - WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. After he
retired from the military he worked for the
Federal Aviation Administration for another 13
years. MSG Hussey was a big quiet man who never
appeared to get upset, this was sometimes hard
to do as a Chief of Military Pay. I worked with
Elwood at Fort Richardson, Alaska in the late
60s. Elwood was 79 years old when he died on 14
February 2002 of natural causes. He will truly
be missed by his family and friends. He was not
a joiner and was not a member of RAFINCO.

CHARLES S. BLANCHARD
Charles died on 25 August 2001 of respiratory
failure. He was 79 years old at the time of his
death. His wife said he was very proud to be a
member of RAFINCO. We know he will be missed by
Margaret and the rest of his family.
MARY BOUDRIA
Felix
Boudria's love of his life, Mary, passed away 8
May 2002.
Just wanted to let you all know that mom passed
away in her sleep during the early morning hours
of May 8. We are all at peace now knowing that
she is with God and is not scared or in pain
anymore. Her wishes were that she be given to
medical science for research so that young
doctors and nurses can continue to learn to help
the sick.
I am with dad now and my sister Ramona will be
here shortly. We do not want to burden anyone,
so flowers and the such are not necessary. A
small prayer before you go to bed would be nice.
Thank you, Kelly Boudria.
