Arthur Coakley and Graham Gardner died in the crash
|
The funerals of two men killed in the Air France crash in the Atlantic have been held. Graham Gardner, 52, from Gourock in Renfrewshire, was a ship's master for Aberdeen oil company Subsea 7. Arthur Coakley, 61, of Sandsend, near Whitby, North Yorkshire, was a founding director of Aberdeen-based oil industry company PDMS. A total of 228 people were killed when the plane crashed off the Brazilian coast on 1 June. Mr Coakley's wife, Patricia, said her thoughts were with the families who did not have the bodies of their loved ones to bury. "We are very fortunate as a family to be able to bury Art; there are lots of families unable to do this," she said. Most of the other passengers were Brazilians and French nationals.
