Not a day will go by that I won't think of you Papa.I will always have memories of the stories you told me and the talks we had. I always valued your opinions. I will always have memories of your train layouts you would work on and the paintings you painted. You had many great talents. I couldn't of had a better grandfather and I wouldn't of traded you for the world. We will miss you very much and we love you very much Papa. Now my Papa and Mawmaw are together at last. We love you Papa.LaShanna Roe,Harold Webb Jr.,Harold Webb III, Nathaniel Webb

We are very saddened at the loss of our cousin James. I will always treasure the memories of James as I was growing up. Especially those on the Bay of Greenbay in his 14 ft Thompson boat. We will always treasure the painting we have of the old Tru-Jo, and the beautiful southwestern scene we have on our family room wall. No oldtimer will ever forget the beautiful scenery of the bay that you painted on the wall of Kunlies Cafe. Thanks for the memories! May the Lord Bless your soul.
