In Memorial - Michael "Mike" Rusaw, Vice Chairman Emeritus Member Services
We are very sorry to report that on September 4, 2018, Michael Francis "Mike" Rusaw, Vice Chairman Member Services, Eagle Chapter Air Force Security Forces Association, passed away suddenly after a short illness with pancreatic cancer and a weak heart. Mike brought an enthusiastic and unequaled sense of service to our chapter members. He always had a contribution at our chapter's board meeting. Anyone who attended know that Mike will be greatly missed.
Michael served 25 years in the Air Force. At his retirement, he was a Senior Master Sergeant and served as the Director of Security for the 1st Communications Group, The Pentagon, Washington DC. At the time of is death, he was employed as a federal contractor in service to the federal government as a Senior Cyber Security Program Manager.
Thank you so much Mike and the Rusaw family.

Chairman's note: I first met Mike at Air Force Officers Training School (OTS). Mike was in the class ahead of mine and had been injured to the point that he could not graduate. I later saw Mike at my first duty station after I left OTS at Castle Air Force Base CA. He was the NCOIC of Quality Control at the 93d Security Police Squadron - then Major Stephen Heppell was the commander. As a brand new Second Lieutenant, I sought experienced military professionals as mentors. Mike was one of mine. To the day of his passing, it was not uncommon for Mike to call me Lieutenant in his booming voice. He was a great board member and friend. Thank-you and our blessings to Carol, sons, Nathaniel, John Christian, and sister, Anne and the rest of the family. Thank-you for sharing Mike with us. We miss him.
