Printpack loses family members in Kenya plane crash

William Love, 41, one of Printpack's family members, his wife, Elizabeth Love, 41, and their daughter, Sarah Love, 12, tragically passed away July 19 in a plane crash in Kenya.

The turboprop plane was also carrying nine others from Elizabeth Brumley Love's family, the George Brumley family of Atlanta. William was with Printpack in the UK and was to move to Atlanta to head up Printpack's business development group. Surviving William and Elizabeth are three young children. Services will be held Saturday, July 26th at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Atlanta. Donations will be accepted in lieu of flowers to:
