Jeffrey Buckalew, a 45-year-old investment banker who worked for New York-based investment firm Greenhill and Company but lived in Charlottesville, is believed dead following a plane crash in New Jersey. Buckalew, a pilot and registered aircraft owner, traveled between Charlottesville and New York for his job. The single-engine airplane was traveling between New Jersey and Georgia when it crashed on I-287. The airplane was registered to Buckalew’s New York address.
Buckalew’s wife, Corinne, his two children, and business partner Rakesh Chawla were also reportedly on-board. The New York Times has more here.
Buckalew supported local arts and charities, and was also reported to be an investor in Forest Lodge, a limited liability company that purchased then sold Biscuit Run.
