Mr. Webster was not only my favorite neighbor but also the best basketball referee I have ever had during a game. Mr. Webster was someone I looked up to and was a great man and he will be very much so missed. I send my condolences and prayers to you all.##imported-begin##Melony Rogers##imported-end##
John and I had a special bond because we were both umpires/referees, although in different sports. I always looked forward to seeing John at the Tacoma Elks and discussing with him, the spirit of being a good umpire. In fact, it wasn't much more than a week ago, I saw him and had a wonderful conversation with him, which included his relating to me, his recent health problems, his love of umpiring, etc. He was a special man with a delectable sense of humor. His spirit and goodness and humor will always be a part of his legacy. God Bless you John, and my prayers go to your beautiful wife and family.

It is with abrupt sadness that we learned of John's passing. It seemed like days ago that we talked with him and Cleo following a fastpitch game at Puyallup's Rec center where he called one of Rachael's High School games. John was a class act and we always knew he would call the game without fear or favor. Words cannot describe our feelings and we extend our heart and hugs to Cleo and other family members as they navigate this difficult time. Best wishes.##imported-begin##The Painter Family##imported-end##

John was one of our favorite umpires. Da Vinci Gourmet softball club had many great memories with him behind the plate. I still don't know if I ever threw him a strike. You and your family are in my thought and prayers, we will miss you out there. George##imported-begin##George Phillips##imported-end##
