A funeral is being held Saturday afternoon for one of two pilots in the plane crash that killed former federal cabinet minister Jean Lapierre and four other members of his family.
The service for Pascal Gosselin is taking place in La Prairie, just south of Montreal. Co-pilot Fabrice Labourel also died in the crash.
Gosselin, 46, is survived by his wife, their three children, his parents and a sister.
On Friday, more than 700 people attended the funeral for Lapierre, his wife, his two brothers and one of his sisters in Bassin, the late political commentator’s hometown in Îles-de-la-Madeleine.

They all died when the plane crashed on March 29 as it approached the airport in Havre-aux-Maisons. Friday’s funeral was also for Lapierre’s father, who died of Parkinson’s disease a few days before the crash.
A memorial service for Lapierre and his wife, Nicole Beaulieu, will be held Saturday April 16 at St-Viateur d’Outremont Church in Montreal.
