AUSTIN, TX : Sister says crash victim was retired from FBI on Monday, February 20th 2017
The Latest on a plane crash in Australia that killed the Australian pilot and four American tourists (all times local):
1:45 p.m.
The sister of one of the men killed when a small plane crashed into a mall in Australia says her brother survived dangerous work in the FBI and while serving in the U.S. Army during Vietnam only to die while enjoying retirement.
Denelle Wicht said Tuesday that it was a shock to learn that her brother, 70-year-old Greg Reynolds De Haven, died in Tuesday’s crash after decades of encountering perilous situations through his work.
Wicht, a resident of Alexandria, Minnesota, says her brother was “extremely athletic” and at one time aspired to become a pro golfer, but his young family at the time came first. After he retired, De Haven went on the senior pro golf circuit.
De Haven lived outside Austin, Texas, but Wicht says he graduated high school in Fairfax, Virginia.
