I had the great privilege of working for Paul and Ruth in 1977 during my senior year at Belmont Abbey and again for several years in the mid 1980s before moving from Charlotte. I was saddened to hear of his passing and I know he will be missed by his family and many friends. I learned everything there is to know about income taxes from Paul and also many lessons about how to run a successful business. My time at Webb Tax Service was always enjoyable and I looked forward to going to work every day. Our world could use more people like Paul Webb

I have tremendous respect for Mr. Webb and his life. I'm sure that many people would have given up when faced with his adversities.Recently,I read the Observer article about Pauls' successful business career as founder of Webtax Co.I have that article with his picture(still working at age 71) in a scrap book at my house.Paul was successful as a human being also.I am proud to have known him.I learned of his passing belatedly so I wanted to pay my respects here. My deepest regards to the entire Webb family.

We have lost a very caring and ethical human being. I always found Mr. Webb to be helpful in any way that he could be.

Our hearts were broken to hear of Uncle Paul's death. We admired how he always surmonted any obstacle with his incredible endurance and positive attitude, and we fully expected to hear that he was back at work....My memories of Uncle Paul are many and ALL happy. I was not his blood neice, so he didn't have to love me, but I truly believe he did! He always showed interest in my life and work and my husband Brent and sons admired him fondly! Pam and Perry, I remember him taking us swimming at a Park and standing watching us outside the fence....I remember him singing and playing his guitar and I always see him with a smile on his face......I remember visting his office with the boys and him watching in his chair as we drove away...the boys thought he was so cool!....how your children and grandchildren must have loved him,too! Aunt Ruth, you have loved me, Ricky and Mealie like your own and we love you back. I wish we were closer to see you more, but please know that our prayers and thoughts are with you all at this sad time. How blessed I was to have known Uncle Paul and I pray that God will grant you all peace in the coming days.
I love you all very much,
Debby
