Tony Lema

Lema was nicknamed "Champagne Tony" for his habit of celebrating a tournament victory with a bottle of champagne. In 1966, at the age of 32, he was flying with his wife, Betty, to an exhibition match in Chicago, Illinois, when their chartered twin-engine Beechcraft Bonanza ran out of fuel and crashed on the seventh hole of a golf course in Lansing, Illinois. All four people on board were killed.
