Holton’s remains, which were excavated from the crash site earlier this year and verified recently, are in a sealed casket in Honolulu and will soon be on their way to Butte, Holton’s brother, Bill, confirmed Tuesday.
“After 48 years, Capt. Holton is finally coming home to Butte,” Bill Holton, who still lives in Butte, told The Montana Standard.
