I'm sorry to have to report that Brent Benedict passed away last month on August 23, 2015. Brent's younger brother Cameron who was a Hersey grad, passed away 4 days later.

WHEELING - Brent Raymond "Gus" Benedict, age 66, formerly of Wheeling, Illinois, passed away Sunday, August 23, 2015, in Vestal Center, New York. Born May 18, 1949, "Gus" was the beloved brother of Roberta (Larry) Fenwick; Barbara (Daniel) Crotsley; Cameron Lee Benedict; and Melodie (Kris) Piepenburg. Beloved uncle of Kelli (Steve) Murphy; Jenni (Jon) Skube; Jeffrey Stungis; Cynthia (Robert) Hansen; David M. Shell; Cale (Brian Patton) Piepenburg; and Jayne Piepenburg. Great-uncle to Haley, Denton, and Easton Murphy; Jordan, Carson, and Riley Skube; Miranda and Max Hansen; Hannah and Marlee Shell; and Beowulf O. Patton. Brent was a 14-year veteran of the U.S. Navy, serving from 1969 until 1983, and since relocating from the Chicago area to Vestal Center, New York, in 2003, he had been an active member of the Vestal Center Motorcycle Club (VCMC). Known as "Gus" or "Gussie" to his friends and family, his warm, unique, and colorful presence will be remembered fondly and missed deeply by all who knew him. Brent was preceded in death by his parents, Robert H. and Marjorie Benedict. A celebration of life organized by Brent's family and the VCMC will be held at the Vestal Club (Redman's) in Vestal Center, on Sunday, September 27 at 1:30 PM, and a memorial in the Chicago suburbs is planned for a later date.
