After a lengthy battle with cancer, Jack Glenn Webb, 77, of Port O’Connor, Texas passed away peacefully at home on January 9, 2015. He slipped away in the early morning to be with our Lord.
Jack was born in Victoria, Texas, one of four children, to Hugh and Clara Webb on August 3, 1937. He had a wonderful childhood with truly loving and caring parents.
Preceded in death by his parents Hugh Vincent and Clara Elizabeth Webb of Victoria, Texas; a brother Don Webb of Victoria, Texas; and is survived by brother, Gayle Webb of Victoria, Texas and a sister, Evelyn Pullen of Clear Lake City, Texas.
Jack is also survived by his wife, Carolyn, of Port O’Connor; a son and his wife, Gregory Clayton Webb and Elizabeth Ann of Statesboro, Georgia with two daughters Jamie and Jessica. (Jack spoke of them often and would have loved to have been active in their life). Survived by a daughter, Stephanie Ann and husband Frank Park, Jr., of Buda, Texas and daughter Shannon; also another daughter, Jill Cathryn Hirsch and husband Wesley of Allen, Texas with two daughters, Rebekah and Rachel.
Jack will be missed so by his step family (four sons) who loved him dearly: Troy and Lynette Snider of Chipley, Florida with two sons Belton and Troy Jr. and great granddaughter Mandy. Tab and Dana Snider of Pinehurst, Texas with three children, Chelsea Snider, Conner Snider and married daughter Cassidy Coleman and her husband Austin of Savannah, Ga.; Chad and Susan Hosch with two children Savannah and Chandler Hosch; Ted and Rachel Hosch with two children, Mason and Audrey Hosch.
Jack received his bachelor degree from Texas A&I, Kingsville, Texas and Masters Degree at Stephen F. Austin, Nacogdoches, Texas. All in education. Jack coached all sports, taught history, and was assistant principal and principal at various schools. His last teaching job was at Giddings State School as Vocational Supervisor, from which he retired a second time.
Jack was blessed with many talents. The main one of being a loving, caring, supportive husband. He is the love of my life, my best friend and will always be. Jack had a way with children; he could keep their interest, make them laugh and teach them at the same time. Jack could take wood and make a piece of beauty of it from furniture to a truck replica. At first if you asked what he was building he would say he didn’t know yet. It would just evolve into something beautiful. He was a good handyman. He loved chiming clocks and kept them going throughout the house. He also had a musical ear. He would listen to a song and then sit and start picking it out on the keyboard. He was smart; your could ask him the meaning of any word and he could tell you. The world has truly lost a fantastic person and I’m sure God will use his many talents in heaven.
When we retired in August, 2003, we moved to Port O’Connor where his heart desired. His family brought him here as a child where they would spend time under a parachute at Boggy Bayou. We had eleven years here, remodeling, building and working in the yard. Took several vacations just loving to be together. I will miss him.
