Poor Weather Possible Cause Of Plane Crash
BRISTOL CENTER, N.Y. (AP) — A Federal Aviation Agency spokesman says poor weather was probably the cause of a plane crash that has taken the lives of four members of a Honeoye Falls family.
The wreckage of the single engine private airplane was found Saturday near here, about 15 miles from its takeoff point, after a four day search. Gale Sleight, 35, his wife Sylvia and two of their four children, John, 10, and Lynne, 9, died in the crash. There were no survivors.
Lt. Col. Charles Dickerhoff of the Civil Air Patrol in Rochester said the Sleight’s plane struck a hill-side near the Bristol Mountain ski resort.
Sleight, a building contractor, took off from Honeoye Falls early Wednesday morning for a flight to St. Augustine, Fla. The search began when he failed to make periodic radio checks along the route.Family/Spouse: Sylvia Steffen. Sylvia was born on 11 Nov 1933; died on 03 Jul 1968 in Bristol, Ontario County, New York; was buried in Honeoye Falls Cemetery, Mendon, Monroe County, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
