The husband of U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola was the pilot and only person onboard a Piper SuperCub that crashed in rural Alaska late Tuesday.
That was the consensus from family and friends on Wednesday, who described the late husband, father, and stepfather as a charming, adventuresome Alaskan with a propensity for helping others.
Raeleen Peltola said the elder Peltola spent a great amount of time with his uncle — her father, who passed when she was young. She loved hearing his stories of adventure, especially those that included her dad. Peltola, Jr., was the lone soul on board a Piper Cub when it went down shortly after takeoff Tuesday, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. In his death, Peltola, Jr. leaves behind multiple children and siblings, and many friends from around the state.
“Today, I spoke with her with that world shattered in shock and sadness,” Biden wrote. “Such a loss is cruel and unfair.
