LAUREL, Del. (AP) - Mourners will gather this week to remember Alan Schweitzer, a firefighter, paramedic and Laurel town councilman who was killed in a motorcycle crash.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that a funeral Mass for Schweitzer will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday at St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Laurel.
The 62-year-old Schweitzer was killed on Thursday when an SUV pulled out in front of his motorcycle and he collided with the vehicle.
He was an at-large councilman for Laurel's Ward 3, his second stint on the council. He was sworn in just three days before the crash.
Schweitzer was also a 27-year veteran of the Laurel Fire Department and a 17-year veteran of the Ocean City Fire Department in Maryland.
