Obviously Web left a lasting impression with me as I am now writing this tribute to his memory.  He introduced me to stereolithograpjy which helped me to create some of the medical devices for global orthoapedics of houston texas. He spoke fondly of relationships with NASA and Spacehab. I wish I had asked him about what he knew was out there regarding intelligent life during all our intellectual probing conversations. I miss these conversations and his ability to converse about anything....

My uncle was a good uncle , with a big heart, he was kind, caring, very smart, I love him, & will miss him very much. Aunt Betty, cousin 's Amber & Amanda I love you three very much. I'm here if you need me. R.I.P. uncle Webb !

Godspeed to the other side, Webb!  So many designs and so much hardware that we have worked on together over the years…I take comfort in knowing that some of our hardware is orbiting the Earth and more is yet to come.  Webb was a great colleague and a great friend.  I will miss working with him and our eyebrow raising conversations.  My heart goes out to Betty and the rest of the family.

My heart goes out to each of you, Webb will truly be missed.  He had a great smile each time you saw him and a kind heart.  As families get spread apart you don't get to see one another often, so occasions such as this bring ones together, while I won't be able to attend my thoughts will be with you all.
Your cousin, Betty (Pryor) Peery

Webb had such passion when he talked about his telescopes! He impressed me with the shear amount of creative energy he could channel into a new design. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn his passing; I hope you find comfort in celebrating his life.

Please accept my family's sympathy and prayers for peace and comfort now and in the days to come. Your cousin, Mary (Pryor) Carter

Web was a wonderful colleague, friend, and person. He had a huge heart for others, an uplifting spirit and an optimistic outlook on life. It was a pleasure to work with him at NASA.  My prayers and sympathies are with the family.
