Yes it is Jim he passed while diving with Dennis Perry in Fla

Well dang! There are two ways to look at it I guess: One is to just say what the heck.



The other is to say, Well I guess he was finished here and God said "Joe it's time to come home" That is a real hard one to say to family and friends but look at all he did while he was here on Earth. God Bless everyone!



Jim

Here is the Obituary

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="436"><tbody><tr><td colspan="3">Joseph Hilton Webb

Joseph Hilton Webb, son, husband, father, grandfather, brother and dear friend to many. Unexpectedly went to be with the Lord and his mother on Dec. 12, 2006, doing what he loved best. Joe opened Webb’s Transmission in 1969 and Suncoast Converters and Diesel Performance Inc. in 1989. Joe was a brilliant man in the transmission industry and the diesel arena. He was also an avid diver. It was his true passion in life. He loved the water and visited as many places of dive interest as time would allow in his already busy life.
Joe was born Oct. 21, 1944, in Baton Rouge, La. , to Wilda Webb (who went to be with the Lord Nov. 26, 2006) and James Webb. Being the son of a railroad engineer, he spent much of his life in Mississippi. He came to Fort Walton Beach, Fla. , on his honeymoon in 1963 where he planted his roots to raise his family. He was a much loved and a well known man in our community. He will be deeply missed by many.
Joe is survived by his wife of 43 years, Joan Webb; his dad, James B. Webb, age 90; son, Britt and Nikki Webb; daughter, Dee and Robert Manners. He is also survived by his sisters, Jimmie and her husband Robert Tensfield, and Frances and her husband Garreth Davies. He has seven grandchildren, Holly and Evan Manners, Chad, Cole and Payton Webb, Nick Malone and Casi Nowling. He is also survived by two nieces and six nephews.
Joe cherished his long time friends, Frankie and Roger Peale, Harry and Barbara Wickliffe, The Old Men’s Dive Club-Dana Dixon, Billy Dixon, Robin Lines and Pastor Bobby Turner.
Joe had requested at his mother’s funeral that he be cremated and that he wanted everyone to wear blue jeans, T-shirts and sneakers. He said “suits were just too uncomfortable. ” The Webb family will have a gathering of friends and family at Wright Baptist Church, Saturday, Dec. 16, from 3 to 5 p. m. , in the fellowship hall, with the memorial following at 5 p. m. , Wright Baptist Church, 795 Beal Parkway, Fort Walton Beach. In lieu of flowers, the families ask that you please donate to the Empty Stocking Fund at the Daily News, 863-1111 for families in need.
PSALMS 107:23-29
Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters; they saw the deeds of the LORD, his wondrous works in the deep. For he commanded, and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea. They mounted up to heaven, they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight; they reeled and staggered like drunken men, and were at their wits’ end. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and HE delivered him from their distress; He made the storm be still; and the waves of the sea were hushed. Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love.

This was in my E-mail this morning.



Heaven will be the perfection we've always longed for. All the things that made Earth unlovely and tragic will be absent in heaven.

Joe was a real gentleman. He made you feel welcome and appreciated as a customer. May he rest in peace. My prayers are with his family in this difficult time. He will be missed by all who knew him. Time heals.
