Canadian pilot killed in Australia remembered as beloved brother, son
SYDNEY, Australia — The family of a Canadian seaplane pilot who died in a crash north of Sydney, Australia, this week say they’re devastated by the loss.
Gareth Morgan’s family has issued a statement saying the 44-year-old was a “wonderful and caring son and brother who never ceased to make us proud.”
Morgan and his five British passengers died on New Year’s Eve when the seaplane he was flying crashed into a river in New South Wales.
Morgan was a former North Vancouver resident who has been described as an extremely experienced and deeply respected pilot.
