Dr. Edgar E. Webber

I am sad to hear of Dr. Webber´s passing. Although I was an Education major, his Botany and Biology classes were my favorite. He inspired me to blend the two. My students benefited from the spark he nurtured by having a teacher who was also a South Carolina Master Naturalist. I still have the book he wrote about Keuka College as one of my treasures-right next to my field guides I still use daily. The ponytail palm he gave me from a trip to the Everglades and the memories of one of the...

Dr. Weber was my pre- OT advisor at Keuka ( class of `98) . I still have hand written notes of congratulations and encouragement from him. He had such a gentle, kind, supportive and down-to-earth manner. Keuka was lucky to have him. My deepest condolences to his family. Thank you Dr. Weber !

Dr. Webber was an amazing person and professor. He made a point of speaking to me, before I took botany, since he heard I was from Massachusetts. We had many conversations about the region. He was always eager to answer any botanical questions I had. I've thought of him often over the years and was just speaking of him last month when I was on campus. My condolences to his family.

I do not take any of his courses at Keuka College but he knew who I was. He was loved by all. Dr.Webber kindly took my Senior photos. (in the woods) We both were surprised when a local dog showed up and was included in the pictures. He knew his name too. He was a gentle, kind and respected professor. I am glad he crossed my path. May he rest in peace.

I thought the camera was just part of his attire. (Meant respectfully.) I´ll miss seeing him EVERYWHERE. What a life he had, and Keuka College was lucky to have him on staff.
