Unfortunately, two victims were not so lucky as they lost their lives in the process. Larry Poltash, the brother to Gary Poltash who lost his life at 64 years, expressed gratitude that his brother did not suffer, acknowledging that he had indeed lived a full life.
Describing his late brother as a man who had lived his life to the fullest and one who had made a name for himself as an All-American boy. It seems as though everything worked out well for him when he was alive. Gary had been a certified public accountant for 15 years. He was a University of Southern California grandaunt. After his public accounting career, he established a business offering tax relief assistance in cases of properties being overcharged.
According to Larry, the boat his brother was on belonged to a doctor friend. His view was that the doctor must have headed somewhere to find medical help as soon as the crash occurred.
Susanne Brito was the lady who lost her life as well. The OPP made the identification. She was a mother and wife, and she went by the name Suzana Brito.
