Our deepest sympathy to Pauline and her family in the passing of Harold. I currently work at Armstrong World (for 33 yaers) and have been an Inspection Department Supervisor for the last 5 years (Harold was in the Inspection Department) and I want you all to know that Harold’s name was "still" brought up (even though he retired years ago) AND workers that Harold supervised asked from time to time if I had seen Harold and "how is he doing" – He was VERY well liked for his personality and brash supervisor style – "do the job or go home!" -I have tried to continue the Webby Supervisor legacy which Harold started as supervisor here at the Floor Plant as, I too,  am also referred to as "Webby". I am positive he will be met with open arms in Heaven….

Dear Pauline & Family,
  I can remember Webby’s sense of humor during our years at Armstrong. It’s a shame that we could not get together in recent times. Age and family make it difficult to do all the things we wish. Just know that I’ll remember Webby, you
and yours in my prayers (including my good buddy Charlie).
Your friend,
George Adams

I read Mr. Webb’s obituary and am wondering if his widow is the same Pauline Sener with whom I worked at Gimbel’s??  If this is you Pauline, I’m  very sorry for your loss. 

Wishing you the best
Sincerely,
Phyllis Keister

I never forgot about you or your family.
Lynette
