Webb's early years were spent hunting, fishing and exploring. He was a voracious reader, a lover of classical music, John Wayne and his Dallas Cowboys. His passion for Civil War History and Texas art made it come alive as he spoke of it. His excitement about WWII aircraft and his pride for its part in our very freedom culminated with his own flight in a B-17 bomber, a gift from his children. This B-17 was identical to the one his own father, Clint, a decorated WWII pilot, flew in 33 missions over Germany. Webb is survived by his wife of 21 years, Susan; his two daughters, four adoring grandchildren; his brother, Bayard Breeding and sister, Leanna McCullough, and extensive family and friends.
