Gene and Margaret LaVine were at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor near the Executive Airport in Sacramento, California when they died during a tragic accident. They were there along with their daughter Sue Martin, son in law and three grandchildren - all perished:

"On September 24, 1972, a privately owned Canadair Sabre Mk. 5 jet piloted by Richard Bingham failed to take off while leaving the "Golden West Sport Aviation Air Show" at Sacramento, California's Executive Airport, crashing into a Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor. Twenty-two people died and twenty-eight were injured. The accident remains the third-deadliest aircraft accident in the United States involving victims on the ground." (Wikipedia)

In 2002 a memorial was erected at that location with the names of the 22 victims of the accident.
