David Jerrold Hoffman - Naples Memorial Gardens September 2, 1962 2 Collier Countians Die in Plane Crash Two men were killed Sunday afternoon when the light plane in which they were stunting went into a spin and plunged into the shallow waters of Chokoloskee Bay in the view of scores of witnesses fishing from the causeway in the area. The dead were William C. Reifenberg, 35, of Ochopee, pilot of the plane and David Jerrold Hoffman, 31, of Everglades.
