Pilot of Flight 587 Remembered in NJ

States and his wife Mary Alden have two young sons. The couple met in the Air Force Reserve. Fellow reservists from McGuire stopped by the States home, and later they organized a touch football came with many of the kids who were at the house.
Friends say States would have appreciated the gesture, as a little league coach and as someone who took a great interest in young people.
At Trinity Episcopal in Princeton, States was remembered warmly as a enthusiastic handyman who could take a joke about his hairline, and was always ready to pitch in. As a Sunday School Teacher of third graders he was infinitely patient even as he snapped dozens of name tag photos.
