DESTIN, Fla. – An executive helping to guide BP's recovery from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, a top Texas lawyer and his mother-in-law were killed in a small plane crash in waters off northern Florida, officials said Wednesday. James Patrick Black, 58, died about a mile from the Destin airport in the Florida Panhandle on Tuesday night, said BP spokeswoman Hejdi Feick. Those who knew them said the three were bound for a Thanksgiving holiday gathering in Florida. Black was director of operations for BP's Gulf Coast Restoration Organization and had a key role guiding the business unit created after April's Deepwater Horizon rig fire and explosion and monthslong spill that spewed at least 200 millions of crude oil from a blown-out BP well. Investigators also said former Texas solicitor general, 47-year-old Gregory Scott Coleman, and his mother-in-law, Charlene Black Miller, 63, died when the Piper Malibu that Coleman was piloting from Texas via New Orleans went down in limited visibility while approaching the airport. Black had worked for BP for 34 years, Feick said in a statement.

Austin’s legal community is mourning the loss of a stand-out attorney who left his mark around the state and nation. Greg Coleman, 47, a Cedar Park resident and Austin attorney died in a plane crash Tuesday night along with his mother-in-law, 63-year-old Charlene Black Miller of College Station, and his uncle, 58-year-old James Patrick Black. Coleman was in Florida with his family for Thanksgiving. He flew back to Texas to pick up his mother-in-law and uncle. They were trying to land in Destin, Florida when they encountered heavy fog. Their plane crashed in Joe’s Bayou, short of the runway. “Professionally he was an incredibly dedicated lawyer. Incredibly skillful.His innate talent was second to none and not only was he probably more talented than anyone else out there, he was also willing to work harder than anyone else which led him to a great deal of success,” said Marc Tabolsky, a friend and co-worker of Coleman's at Yetter Coleman, an Austin law firm. Greg Coleman was a bright University of Texas law student. Upon graduation he worked for federal judge Edith Jones in Houston. Coleman then went on to clerk for Judge Clarence Thomas before Thomas became a Supreme Court justice.
