John Talignani was flying to San Francisco to claim the body of his son, who died in a head-on car crash on his honeymoon in California.

"And that's the end," said Talignani's sister, Alice Bertorelli. "And he went down with Flight 93."

Talignani, 74, was a widower and the father of three sons. He worked for 20 years at the Palm Restaurant in Manhattan as a bartender and a steward. His wife of 25 years died four years ago.

On Wednesday afternoon, Bertorelli searched through her brother's apartment, trying to find dental records so her brother's remains might be identified.
