Michael Yusko Obituary
Michael (Mick) C Yusko passed away peacefully in his home on January 14th after a 10-year battle with cancer.
Mick was well known as a keen troubleshooter, problem solver & inventor resulting in patents for past employers. He traveled to many US oil producing states to install and service oil refinery control and analysis instrumentation systems.
He believed that one’s education should never end. His portfolio included certification in Auto-Engine analysis and rebuilding, electronics and computer repair, custom machinery design, CNC & CAD/CAM programming, and A PA Real Estate License. His favorite motto was “Knowledge is Power, but understanding is Supreme!"
With a fortified technical background, he endeavored to fulfill his dream, as he built his own product development lab and manufacturing facility, complete with a full CNC machine shop. It was there he earned his best patent, a unique long-range pistol gunsight that outperformed conventional design wisdom.
Mick is survived by his soul mate and wife, Ginger McAllister of Yardley, his daughter, Jessie Tait of Wilmington NC, his brother, Charles Yusko and his wife Cathy; along with his brother and sister-in-laws, Darrell and Gail McAllister, Jane and Roger Clark, Karen McAllister and nephew William McAllister.
Interment will be private.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory may be made to Turning Point USA, 4940 East Beverly Road
Phoenix, Arizona 85044.
Arrangements are entrusted to the J. Allen Hooper Funeral Chapel in Morrisville, PA.
