TULSA, Okla. (AP) _ Funerals are scheduled today and Thursday for five members of an Oklahoma church who were killed in a weekend plane crash.
Today’s funeral will be for Dr. Kenneth Veteto, who was a deacon at Park Plaza Church of Christ in Tulsa. He was killed along with the plane’s pilot, Dr. Stephen Lester, Lester’s wife Dana and the Lesters’ two daughters, who were 16 and 13.
The Lesters’ funeral will be held at Park Plaza on Thursday.
