I will remember Howard always with a smile, his humor and friendliness....I recall him knowing I was a Webb, and trying to place me in the line-up of 11..he would always ask about my parents and their health, I suppose it was becos of the # of children in our 2 families , and he knew the hard work in raising all...also remembering him stating that with our 2 families along with the Speakman family of 15 in Jackson Township, we could fill a  school bus in 3 stops...the Webb family shares in the loss of your father, Howard, and losing a parent..may you have fond memories of your family life together!

Dear Aunt Julie and Family,
I am so sorry I was unable to make it to Uncle Howard's funeral.  We were on our annual family vacation in Delaware last week. After reading his obituary, I was in awe over the wonderful life that he led.  What a lucky man to leave this world knowing that he did everything right and had a family who loved him.
