Motorcycle rider, firefighter gets fitting farewell
WEST SUNBURY — A dedicated motorcycle rider and volunteer firefighter who died at a young age received a fitting farewell Monday, May 15.
Brian Scott “Bubby” Benson, 32, of West Sunbury, who loved riding his Harley-Davidson and serving with the North Washington Volunteer Fire Department, died unexpectedly at his home Wednesday, May 10.
Leading the procession from his funeral service at William F. Young Funeral Home to Concord Presbyterian Church Cemetery was a department firetruck followed by a custom-made motorcycle hearse that carried his coffin.
Brian’s brother, Michael Benson, followed the hearse in Brian’s pickup, and a friend followed him riding Brian’s bike with Brian’s girlfriend, Charmaine Wulff.
Benson, of Waynesburg, Greene County, said Brian loved riding his bike with fellow members of the Double DD Misfits Saddle Club, a horse riding club, and family and friends.
