They were active and faithful members of Good Shepherd United Methodist Church in Silver Spring. Red was a very successful and highly respected salesman for 33 years for Gray Concrete Pipe Co. where he advanced to the position of Vice-President. Red and Dorothy spent retirement years traveling, winters in Florida and summers at their treasured “land of good living”: The Blue Lagoon, in Ocean City, MD. He was an avid fisherman and caught more than his share of flounder "keepers" with his good friend, Captain Joe.

Red, beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend, will be remembered as a man with a big heart. He was always patient and kind and never lost his temper. The Webb children will always remember his devotion to Dorothy, caring for her through her final years until her dying day. He was her rock.

Red's lifetime motto was "every day is a bonus day". He lived every day of his life like it was.

A memorial service will be held at the Riderwood Chapel in Riderwood Senior Living Community, Gracefield Road, Silver Spring, MD on September 6, 2022 at 11AM. Red will be interred at Arlington National cemetery.
