Victims of Red Lake Crash Remembered

The victims of a fatal float plane crash in Red Lake are being remembered as caring, community minded people.

Brenda and Jim Beauchene died when their float plane crashed into the Bruce Channel Thursday evening.

The Beauchene's were prominent figures in Phoenix, Arizona but were both born in Canada.

In an e-mail to the newsroom, Brenda's cousin Sue Beaudry stated that the two were headed to the tourist camp they had just purchased.

Jim was a plastic surgeon specializing in hands.

She says when Brenda contacted her this spring, she was wanting information as to how Jim could maybe help out in the community offering his medical services.

She says they both were community oriented.

The couple leaves behind identical twin daughters and a son.
