___ PCN FLIGHT WEST is sponsored by the Pilot Communication Network and is a service of the PCN provided for the Delta Pilot Retired family of pilot groups. Flight West was started and is maintained to accomplish two main goals. After we become aware of a colleague who has Flown West, 1. We aim to produce a “timely” notice sent to our community that allows for support and interaction from our group toward the grieving family of our friend and colleague. 2. Then, we aim to “archive” that notice on our Flown West Blogspot as a lasting accessible place of Dignity and Honor of our colleague for family legacy and posterity. Contributor contact info is generally removed before posting (unless requested otherwise).

Full obituary for Theodore Lee Fuss II........................
Theodore Lee Fuss II, Lt. Commander (Ret.), U.S. Navy Reserve, passed away in Gahanna, Ohio surrounded by his loving family on September 25th at the age of 61.
 
Ted was the President of the Class of 1975 at Gahanna Lincoln High School and graduated with honors from The Ohio State University in 1979. He was commissioned an officer in the U.S. Navy from OSU's NROTC program and received his wings of gold in 1982. Ted was a Top Gun fighter pilot, flying F-14 Tomcats, and later served as a Captain at Northwest and Delta Air Lines.
 
A passionate sportsman and dedicated, revered coach, he helped establish local youth lacrosse teams, including the Gahanna Lincoln High School team. You could find him flying exotic kites, sailing, boating and fishing. His passions were aviation, lacrosse, the Buckeyes, music and dancing. Although his moves were legendary, he was too modest to appear on "Dancing with the Stars." It was their loss.
 
Ted considered his greatest accomplishment, by far, to be his three sons; David (Elizabeth), Andrew and Thomas, who survive him along with his loving wife of 35 years, Lisa. Additionally, he is survived by his parents, Theodore and Lorna Fuss, niece Jill McInerney (Derek), and nephew Lee Auer. He was preceded in death by his sister, Peggy Fuss Auer.
 
It is with great joy that his life will be honored and celebrated with a visitation to be held from 1:00 - 4:00 PM and a memorial service with military honors beginning at 4:15 PM on Saturday, October 6th at Schoedinger Northeast, 1051 E. Johnstown Rd., Gahanna with Kai Nilson, officiant. Inurnment will be held at a later date at Miramar National Cemetery in San Diego with full military honors.
