To the Webster family my prayer and condolences goes out to you. Mr. Webster's son Geoffrey is a great friend to me. He talked about his father with much prided and honor. I know Mr. Webster was a good person because of how his son's character. As I read the obituary I saw his reflection through his son. May the Lord continually be with the family.

While I did not know Mr. Webster directly, I do work with his son, Geoffrey. Willie must have been an incredible man to raise and guide Geoffrey, helping him to become the dependable and amazing individual he is. Our prayers are being offered for the Webster family, prayers to curb their sorrow after this loss, and prayers of thanks for his life.
Willie that's what I called him.he was a dear friend,he always bake me a cake at christmas for my birthday also.he also was the man who did my taxes,I bet he would crack up after I left because he would scare me half to death making me think I would owe the government ,but I would would get a refund instead.he would always help me during election time and made sure I voted for the right candidates, we would talk about everything about our childhood,and be cracking up saying those were the good old days, I will miss you Willie Webster,rest in peace my friend:pray::pray::pray::wave:
Thanks for the wonderful memory!
To Janee', Alon and the entire family, you all are in my prayers. I never met Mr. Webster, but Janee' you shared so many wonderful stories about him I can tell he was loved and that he loved you all. May God give you all peace, comfort and strength. From Dionni
Hello Geoffrey, Your Dad was a truly dear friend of mine for 43 yrs. He will be greatly missed...Take care and God Bless!
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
My Grandpa will be dearly missed by all the lives he has raised, changed and uplifted. I enjoyed all the phone calls I had with him during my first two years in college. He asked how things were, what my dorm was like, the people and always reminded me to keep going and "stay in your books". I will miss those calls but will remember them along with all the lovely memories you all have shared!
Much Love,
Maiya Webster
Brynda Cunningham and family, thank you for the kind memories of my father! Also, many thanks for all you did for him!
The cycle of life is you're born, you pay taxes then you transition. Regardless of the cycle you're never ready for the final one.
June is what we called him, sometimes he would call himself "Bid Daddy" with that sneaky laugh lol. I remember our mom telling me that June use to spit in his cream soda because he didn't want his siblings drinking his pop. I don't know because I was younger and we did have a big family. I'm just glad that I was to young to go in the fridge by myself. LOL
June you will always and forever be in my heart. I love you and I will miss you dearly.
:two_hearts::two_hearts::two_hearts:
Thank you for sharing this Ms. Brynda. Thank you for all the love your showed my grandpa
Ashley. Thank you so much for sharing this. You used to have me rolling with this. Grateful to hear about my Grandpa’s encouraging words to you.
Love you so much Cousin Jackie. Thank you for sharing!
This was beautiful Aunt Janet. Thanks for sharing.
My grandpa with his baby Alon
Mr. Willie Webster, was a very quiet person the first time I meet him. We talk about baking cakes and my sweet potato pie . He request me to bake him sweet potato one year . Mr . Webster said , “ that was the best “. He will be missed.
I have fond memories of Mr. Willie Webster. He was my buddy. He was my tax man. He would always remember my birthdays with a beautiful card and homemade favorable cakes. I could depend on him to place Christmas orders of cashews and turtle candies. I am going to miss our long talks. Mr. Willie Webster placed a footprint of appreciation of life in me.
Love Vanessa Avery
My big brother, June. I never thanked you for my first job. Babysitting Geoffrey as he sucked his thumb while pulling my ear or my hair, lol. I think he liked keeping me busy, working in his yard and cutting his grass. Why did he get an electric lawnmower? Well guess what I did, yes ran over the cord. Even after that, he didn't stop picking me up. As a teenager, he got me a job at H&R Block as a receptionist. It wasn't as easy as it looked.
June you will be missed with your distinct laugh. I will miss how much you could keep a conversation going because Lord knows you can talk, lol. Rest now no more pain, your sister Janet. Love you
My first memory of Willie Webster, Jr. came as teenagers with the surprise and joy we felt in learning that our mothers were sisters from Biloxi-MS. They both had lived and died in Cincinnati-OH in the mid-1940’s of tuberculous. Secondly, I’ll always remember how excited he became whenever he won a game of Bid Whist; while, playing against me and any other partner. And thirdly, “Oh! How I’m going to miss the ‘perfectly’ baked pound cakes that Willie baked for my birthday (July 17) - year-after-year.” Willie was my closest and a very special 1st cousin. I will truly miss him.

My family would like to extend our prayers, love and condolences to Mr. Webster's family. We've known Mr. Webster and his family since the 70's. My family grew up in Bond Hill. I remember my mom and dad always calling Mr. Webster, Willie Webster, they would say his full name. I'm smiling now thinking of my parents saying his full name. We cherished Mr. Webster. He was also so kind, cracked jokes and was full of life!
This is very sad and hurts to know Mr. Webster has gained his wings to God's Glory! I have great memories of Mr. Webster. My siblings and I thought of Mr. Webster as an Uncle. I would visit Mr. Webster at his home in Bond Hill and in the nursing homes and take him lunch. He loved Captain D's fish meal and Frisch's vegetable soup and sandwich. I would call Mr. Webster to see how he was doing and would say, "Mr. Webster I'm coming over on pay day, what would you like for lunch or dinner?" Mr. Webster would laugh and say "Okay Brynda". I would kiss him on his head when I saw him.
It was always good to see Mr. Webster. He loved his family and friends. He loved to talk about Geoffrrey, Janay and his grandkids. He was so excited when I mentioned that I worked with Charmaine when she interned at P&G. He was so proud of his children and grandkids. Mr. Webster and I spoke after Thanksgiving and we talked about his baking for years and how Charmaine baked so many beautiful pies for Thanksgiving. He was proud.
Mr. Webster would always make me his delicious and famous pound cake for Christmas and my birthday. I would eat practically the whole cake by myself. I asked him to just make them for my birthday because they were so addictive and delicious! He would make his cakes for my family also. We looked forward to the holiday season for his cakes. He would spend hours baking for his oved ones. He would tell me I'm making cakes for Janay because she has orders in Dayton. His baking was a passion of his along with the love of his family.
God blessed my family with Mr. Webster! His spirit was loving, caring and generous! My family and I miss Mr. Webster dearly. He was our uncle and we now have another loved one in heaven watching over us along with our parents.
Webster family, please accept our condolences, prayers and love. Your father, grandpa and brother will be missed by the Cunningham family.
We love you,
Brynda Cunningham and family.
Geofrey and Janae, I am so sorry for your loss. I will miss Willie. I will especially miss his sense of humor and honesty. I will also miss his delicious homemade cakes. I love you cousins and I will continue to pray for you. Juanita

Marc & Anita Ferguson

I always looked forward to your childlike sense of humor when it came to doing my taxes, remembering you enjoying scaring the crap out of me doing my taxes with all your uhhh ooo’s and let me see what I can do’s keeping me on edge for a whole week just to bless me with my max. Always very welcoming calling me your WOOKA you even told me last time you did my taxes that I turned out alright and you were proud and keep taking care of my baby. I thanked you then but i feel the need to thank you again so Thank you for that you will be truly missed. RIH:dove_of_peace::blue_heart:your WOOKA :kissing_heart:
Mr. Webster was one of the wisest persons I’ve ever met. He had a great talent for telling stories with side splitting humor along with providing historical & realistic content. Mr. Webster was promoted to a managerial position managing his former coworkers who were mostly white. One would have to have specific skills to effectively manage his department that person was Mr. Webster.
