...After retiring from GM, Ed Cole became CEO of Checker Motors Company
of Kalamazoo, Michigan. The family owner-builder of Checker Cabs
hoped that Cole could address some of the company's problems.
However, before Cole had a chance to improve Checker, he was
killed in a light plane crash (ironically 50 miles from his birth place),
flying solo in the rain and fog on his approach to an airport in Mendon,
Michigan, near Kalamazoo, Michigan in May 1977.
