Team March loses a friend
Retired Chief Master Sgt. James “Jim” Rossi
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of retired Chief Master Sgt. James April 4, 1948 – June 26, 2015
“Jim” Rossi, who died on Friday, June 26.

Rossi’s military career path had him working in air transportation, aerial port, and serving
as a loadmaster with the 729th Military Airlift Squadron.

An admired senior enlisted leader and mentor, Rossi served as the senior enlisted advisor
for Headquarters Air Force Reserve from Aug. 31, 1991 to Sept. 30, 1995.

Those who knew him can attest that he led by example according to his leadership state-
ment, “Leaders must listen and provide inspiration…must always put their subordinates
before themselves while recognizing deserving Airmen.”

Upon Rossi’s retirement from the U.S. Air Force in 1995, he returned to March Field and
continued serving as a civilian as the Satellite Services Inc. project manager at the start of
the Base Operation Services contract in February of that year. He was responsible for Sup-
ply, Transportation, Airfield Management, Transient Alert, Fuels, and the Traffic Manage-
ment Office within the BOS contract.

In the fall of 2014, Rossi ac-
cepted a job at Burbank Airport
as the operations manager.

We send our heartfelt condo-
lences to his wife Nancy, his two
daughters, his son and his two
grandchildren.

Jim was well known and re-
spected throughout the March
family, and was loved by many.
He will be sorely missed.
