Sad, wife and 3 daughters left behind. Was special to see him win all those Championships with Shaq. I never thought Shaquille would out live him.

His 13-year old Gianna was onboard.

a baseball coach and his family were on the helicopter with Kobe, thought the name sounded familiar but i guess not, interesting it being reported out of the PI

There was a Joe Altobelli that took over for Earl Weaver as the O's manager in the early 80s. I thought it might be his son but I have seen no mention of that. I also found a John Altobelli that played a handful of games in 1985 for an A ball team and it would be the right era for it to be him but not enough info to confirm.
