On Wednesday, May 3, Janke Marine was moving two barges from Racine to Milwaukee when they were contacted by the Racine Sheriff, Joseph Blessinger, after it was learned that the Coast Guard did not have equipment available and would not be able to remove the plane from the 35 feet of water. As quoted from the Racine Journal Times. “We wanted a barge,” Sheriff Blessinger said, “and we looked up and there was one, I’ll never forget that as long as I live.” Al Aschbrenner, Wausau, and Don Maguire, Mosinee, employees of Janke Marine operated the barge and crane to remove the plane and four bodies from the lake. The plane was placed on the barge and taken to Milwaukee where it was put ashore for inspection by the Bureau of Aviation Safety Board.
Thursday Delmar Gumz, Athens, who is employed by Janke Marine as a diver, recovered the body of the pilot and the two engines.
It was noted in the Racine paper that Sheriff Blessinger would make public awards to persons who played key roles in the recovery operation.
