Description
The pilot who crashed a floatplane when landing on Lake Meridian in Kent on Saturday has died, according to Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority.
Captain Alan L. Williams, who was the only person in the plane, died on Thursday, less than a week after the crash.
"Alan was a career pilot with a highly decorated 55-year career in aviation," his family said in a statement. "His love of flying was only surpassed by his love for his wife, children, and grandchildren. He was a selfless person who was always there to help those around him. Like the love he showed others, our heartbreak cannot be put into words."
