Dad’s Last Ride

WEST SUNBURY — A local dairy farmer took one last ride on a big green tractor as it transported his casket in a funeral procession Saturday morning.

Earl E. “Bud” Webb, of Clay Township, died June 15, and his family said the tractor procession send-off is one last tribute to his legacy.

The John Deere 4440 took Bud from William F. Young Funeral Home in West Sunbury to a service at Muddy Creek Evangelical Presbyterian Church, passing his farm in Clay Township on the way.

“My brothers and I said, ‘this is the last thing we get to do for dad,’” said Earl R. Webb, Bud’s son.
