Walton Remembered for Passion for Flying
By MELISSA NELSON, Associated Press WriterTue Jun 28, 5:25 PM ET

As one of the richest men in the world, John Walton could have spent his
entire life traveling around the globe on luxury jets. But the heir to the
Wal-Mart fortune loved to tool around in a cheap airplane built from a kit.

Walton died Monday at the age of 58 when the homemade ultralight plane he
was piloting crashed near the Jackson airport in Grand Teton National Park.

Walton was remembered as a humble man with a passion for education, the
outdoors and all things flying.
