As sad as this event is, I feel that, maybe, a 'self imposed pressure' may have been present, seeing that other aircraft reportedly 'held' and the weather was reportedly 'not good'.
Keep up the 'good work'....

My guess too.
I would also consider the age. Commercial pilots have an effective age limit but I assume because this was not a commercial flight then an age limit would not apply. If he want's to fly at 78 in marginal weather, that's his problem. It shouldn't be someone else's problem.
