Born in Marion, Ohio, Phil was the son of the late Floyd and June Webb. Phil developed an expertise in technology and management and served as Vice President of Technologies for American Express. While working for American Express, Phil and Gail lived internationally. Since his early retirement in 2006, he and Gail spent time RVing across the country visiting Roman Catholic shrines, national parks, and Civil War memorials. Retirement never halted his mission to bring the joy of the Roman Catholic Faith to others. He loved and lived his faith. As an active member of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Waynesville, Phil served as the Parish Council Chair. He was the Chancellor of the Fr. Bernard McDevitt Council of the Knights of Columbus 15085. Phil was also a Fourth Degree Knight of the Great Smoky Mountain Assembly 3001. Phil had a special commitment to Sister Mary Ruth and her school, St. Joseph Academy. Phil worked tirelessly, as the photographer, field trip manager, and benefactor to the Academy.

The Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 am, on Thursday, May 31, at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Waynesville with a Rosary at 10:00 am.

Phil’s larger than life personality, infectious smile, and overwhelming sense of charity will be greatly missed by the many lives he touched.
