Not sure what to say?

My deepest condolences for the irreparable loss of Dr. Webb. It has taken me so long to express my thoughts because I am lost for words. My eyes are overflowing with tears as I write.

He was a very dear and faithful friend to me. His selflessness was evident in the way he gave out himself to help others. His love and compassion for mankind caused him to reach out to everyone - HE WAS COLOR BLIND!!

Jim! You made me welcome at ARES! You gave me access to invaluable data...

My condolences go out to the family of Dr. Webb. He was one of the best professors I had at CSU. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was an excellent teacher.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

I remember Professor James Webb with sincerest fondness. He was a distinctive indivudual with a heart and soul filled with truth, compassion, love, helpfulness and generosity. He reached out to any friends across the world like me with his very frequent gracious and disarming smile. He always gave his friends the benefit of the doubt, and he was always helpful in his scholarly and research advice, comments and sharing. Truly, Professor James, was a...

Anais and family
Jim was a wonderful friend and mentor to me;he shaped my career in his usual kind and caring way.

I have wonderful memories of Jim ;both via ARES,conferences and from the times you spent in Australia.

I will miss his wise and kind counsel and our times together.

Although I have known Jim for only about 10 years, he had often been like a benevolent uncle to me, offering words of encouragement and advice. His tireless effort and contributions has transformed the real estate faternity to what it is today. Jim, you will be sorely missed!

James Webb: A Life of Significance and Impact:

The Megbolugbe Family joins with very many in celebrating the significant and impactful life lived by Professor Jim Webb. Jim was both a mentor and a special friend to Isaac. Apart from teaching and doing research, Jim and Isaac shared a common passion/interest for investigating answers to basic questions of life. Jim was more of a philosopher than Isaac. It was always a joy for me to observe both engage in passionate exchange of views...

Jim was both a mentor and a special friend. Apart from teaching and doing research, Jim and I shared a common passion for books and botany. The following quote by Alexander Smith reminded me so much of Jim:

"In my garden I spend my days; in my library I spend my nights. My interests are divided between my geraniums (in Jim’s case, daffodils) and my books. With the flower I am in the present; with the book I am in the past. I go into my library, and all history unrolls before...

Mrs. Webb and Family-

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Mr Webb has influenced my life more than I can say. My short time caring for him at CCF has forever changed my nursing career.

I will continue to be praying for you all during this time. May you find your peace and strength in the Lord.

God Bless

My deepest condolences to the Webb family.

I have many great memories of working with Dr. Webb both in his yard and around the neigborhood. I could always count on Dr. Webb for great conversation about virtually any subject...politics, philosophy, current events, and life and general as we spent time trimming hostas and planting trees. I was fortunate enough to have spent this time with him and definetely learned a lot. I do still feel bad about bending his pick axe in half...
