Robert Webster Obituary
11/23/36 - 3/13/20
Scot was born in Taunton, Massachusetts; one of nine children born to John and Mary Ulak Webster. He graduated from Monsignor James Coyle High School and served four years in active duty with the U.S. Coast Guard. He was an instructor to Coast Guard cadets on summer training cruises to Europe and the Caribbean on the sailing ship "Eagle".Scot was a member of the American Theatre Wing in New York City and studied at the Rudolph Schaeffer School of Design in San Francisco. He had a successful career as a painting contractor and worked on many of San Francisco's finest houses and Wine Country estates.
Scot was proud of his volunteer work for St. Anthony, Martin de Porres and Coming Home Hospice. He was also a grateful member of Alcoholics Anonymous with 40 years of continuous sobriety. He took great joy in his many Grand Nieces and Nephews who affectionately called him "Uncle Bob".
A funeral Mass will be held at Mission Dolores in San Francisco at a later date
Memorial donations are suggested to Coming Home Hospice 115 Diamond St., SF, CA 94114

How I miss his beautiful smile and his wonderful joy in living. We attended Monday noon No Reservations Meeting together for years. I can't help but smile when I think of him and his gentle, funny nature. I miss him and hold him in my heart every day.

I knew Scot through my friends Steve and Jim Lovegren. I didn't actually see him much, just occasionally would run into him. What a wonderful energy he had. I'd always feel happier after seeing him.

I first met Scot when I worked for Kelly Moore Paint Co in the 1980's. I waited on him countless times - his cheerfulness and exuberance was infectious. Over the years I would occasionally see his name in Herb Caen's column when Caen would mention the "Namefreaks" - because Scot's name was 2 San Francisco streets. I revived my own painting career in the early 2000's and when Scot retired he referred some of his clients to me - something I will always be grateful for. I ran into Scot often on my walks around the Dolores Park neighborhood Scot lived in. It was always such a joy to see him.

Bobby was a lifelong friend of my parents, Barbara (Emsley) and Eddie Pirozzi. My dad, Bobby, and Michael Frazier, another classmate from Coyle, stayed close for decades despite long distances. May they all rest in peace and the joy of long-time friendship.
My family sends our condolences to Bobby's family and friends.
