Eugene Robert “EBob” Bertolli Memorial Scholarship

Doctor Bertolli entered the Air Force after 30 years in his civilian career serving people as a Doctor of Advanced Optometry and vision therapy; was a DRE and an adjuct speaker serving the State Police and various law enforcement associations pro-bone for over 20 years. Major Bertolli was granted a “miracle age waiver” signed by the Secretary of the Air Force and was the Chief of Optometry for the 150th Special Operations Wing Medical Group at Kirtland AFB, New Mexico Air National Guard. Without children of his own, he was a father figure to his troops and always worked to guide others, learn, and share knowledge. His goal was to work to make a difference for the better. He loved participating in humanitarian missions and lived his life as an example of servant leadership. Two $1,000 yearly scholarships are provided in Major Bertolli’s memory by his sister and brother-in-law, Lisa and Guy Marchetti, Jr., for those applicants who exemplify his spirit of servant leadership.
