Not sure what to say?

Eight years have passed since Dan´s passing. My time serving with him in the early eighties remains vivid. Dan´s compassion and friendship made them wonderful times.

I wonder what he would have to say about all that's going on now... on second thought, I probably already know.

One of my fondest bmts memories is Col Fucci serving us at the 329 DFAC. I was like wow, it's thanksgiving and he is here with us. Thank you and RIP, I will never forget that experience in 1992.

Dan has been a close friend ever since we first met and served together in the ENJJPT program at Sheppard AFB, TX. He and another friend, Russ, would take T-38 cross countries to Mather AFB, CA, to visit and we later served together at Lackland AFB. Dan, Russ, and I made a recent trip back to Sheppard AFB to relive old memories by attending an ENJJPT class assignment night and "happy hour". Dan was a professwional and is already greatly missed. The upside is that Dan is in a better place...

Dan was my copilot in B-52's. He was a great officer, and we had many good times together. I'll always remember "The Great Train Rockery."

Barbara, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Rest in peace, Dan Fucci.

Barbara, to you and your entire family. Words are never enough at a time like this, but please know that caring thoughts are with you all. May your memories console you and may time help bring peace. Please except my sincere sympathy.

What I remember the most about Col Fucci when I worked for him at Basic Military Training was his ability to find joy in adversity. He had a smile even under the worst of circumstances. A great leader that I would follow to war any time. God Bless you and your family.
