John H. Webb (Webby), a life-time resident of Greene, New York, died peacefully on January 14, 2024 at the age of 69 in his Southern home.
John graduated from Greene Central School High School, and later in his career went on to earn a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Management from the University of Phoenix. John began his life-long career at the Raymond Corporation in Greene, NY, in 1971 as a Masker and built his reputation based on his dedication to the company and his desire to meet standards to produce quality products with zero defects. His position in retirement was Manager 3 and served as a consultant for a few summers following retirement.
For two years, John would leave Bonnie’s Diner in Greene at 6:25 a.m., and Robin would arrive at 6:30 a.m.. On January 20, 2009, John decided to have a second cup of tea. Robin walked in and their romance began. In life, take time for that second cup of tea. It can be magical.
John is survived by his loving wife Robin Webb, his three daughters, Elizabeth (Brandon) Bair, Kimberly Korherr, and Jesse (Chase) Ramsey, his two sons Jason (Katie) Webb, and Dylan Webb, brother Terry Webb, and sister Tina Thurman. He is also survived by his four grandchildren Kody, Olivia, Braeden and Elle, several nieces and nephews, and the Crazy Cuzzies. If John chose you as a friend, you know of his kind heart and quick wit.
He is pre-deceased in death by his mother Joyce Holdredge, brother Jeff Webb, Aunt Martha Burrows, and several aunts and uncles.
John was an avid golfer, Harley owner, sports car enthusiast, skydiver, chef, and mentor for talent in his beloved Raymond Corp. He also advised GI patients referred to him by his Syracuse physician and made a medical documentary for his experimental treatments to help others struggling with esophageal complications. While battling his illness, he educated himself on various species of birds, and looked forward to Amazon deliveries. He also voluntarily served as the Co-Chair for the Architectural Control Committee for his Southern neighborhood. John was a long-time member of the Greene Lions Club, and member of numerous golf leagues and the HOG organization.
A celebration of life will take place in April for friends and family in Greene, New York. He will be deeply missed by his friends and family and all who know him.
