Not sure what to say?

Ron, you were always a great friend to me. I miss you and wish you were still here. There are many things I would like to tell you. And of course, we could not talk without laughing. And we would probably plan a trip together. Your generosity and friendship will never be forgotten. Yes, I still have the ties you gave me, and I pray for you whenever I wear one. Bruce

I have known Ron since he was 7 years old. Our parents were friends, and I lived with the family for 2 years while working in Alton in the mid 1950's. He was like a little brother to me. His dedication and care of his parents was incredible. I always told him he had his special place in heaven. I will miss him. See you on the other side, Ron.

Celebrating a life well lived. I met Ron after Bruce and I married (almost 8 years ago). Ron and Bruce had been very good friends for many years. First, Ron visited us in Houston, TX. Then, in 2010, he graciously hosted us in Alton. I have wonderful memories from both visits and I will cherish these memories forever.

One of my heroes is gone, but he will never be forgotten. Every time I take the stage I will think of Mr. Webb and how he opened my eyes to the theater in 3rd grade. The ripples you've made in this life will echo into eternity my friend.

A man we lost way too soon who had such an impact on so many lives. Jim and I regret that, due to doctor's appointments, we are unable to attend the service. Our sympathies and love we send to all who loved him.

i worked with Ron for awhile. He was an excellent teacher who was dearly loved by his students. He set a very high standard for others entering the profession to emulate.

I was so blessed to have Mr. Webb as my teacher for both 3rd and 5th grade. I still remember many of the school lessons and life lessons he taught us. He gave us all self confidence and went the extra mile to feed our curiosity and make learning fun. He will be missed.

What a loss of a wonderful man who so totally enjoyed teaching. His smile and energy will be missed.
