Dave Maio
Armand David Maio (OSC PhD 1976) died peacefully following a valiant battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Hs is survived by his wife, Carolyn, their children, Keith and Stephen, their grandchildren, Collin, David, Leah, Allison, Addie, Jenna, Gianna, Aaron, and Jesse, and by many other relatives and faithful friends. After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy, Dave earned a master's degree in meteorology at the University of Washington and a second master's in physics at the University of Michigan. He went on to earn a PhD in optical sciences at the University of Arizona. After retiring from a career in the United States Air Force, Dave served as a physical science administrator at New Mexico State University. A memorial mass was held on July 17 at St. Mary's of the Angles in Pinetop, Arizona.
Happy Birthday
