He entered the Air Force with brother William Luongo and Richard DeMayo in 1957. He was stationed in Thule, Greenland working in communications. This is the same place his uncle Samuel Raneri of White Plains, NY was stationed in WWII.

He is survived by his sister Mary Luongo, brother William Luongo, brother Joseph Luongo, brother Daniel Luongo and numerous nieces and nephews from New York to California and various cousins from New York to Washington!
