The day of the accident, Scott
had just flown the Titch minutes before Deane got to the airport.
The plane was mechanically sound and didn't show any problems. Deane
then flew the plane to the Salem airport and upon landing crashed the Titch
killing Deane. A few days earlier Bobbie took Deane to the
doctor due to a severe pain in the left shoulder and arm which was thought
to be bursitis. She believes that Deane had a massive heart attach
just before landing which caused the accident. Deane was forty five
and Bobbie was forty seven years old when the accident occurred.
This was very unfortunate because we
lost an extremely nice person. As I said, I never met Deane,
but I have grown to know and like him very much and we can all take a lesson
from him. Pursue your dreams and make them come true. Your
actions and accomplishments will make you live forever. This
is how we named IAC Chapter 61, the Deane Kesterson Chapter 61.
