To the family of Douglas "Duck" Webb, you have my deepest thoughts, prayers, and love during these devastating times. 2020 strikes yet again. Duck was such an intergral part of my child/adulthood. We had many funny times as I tried to follow along with him and my Uncle Curt. Can't believe they're both gone but I'm thankful to have sooo many pleasant memories. Family,I pray you will be comforted in your precious happy memories too. He was truly a nice, thoughtful person. Always smiling. Love and strength to you all.
I place an exclamation mark beside everything Khadijah, Chevelle, Jenene & Fred said because Duck, along all of my neighborhood friends, (Ernest, Myra, Drew, C.J., Evelena, Alan, & several other crew members), helped make growing up a wonderful experience that I remember with fondness. To the family, you all have my deepest condolences. B.G.
I was honored to work with Mr. Webb and his family and have fond memories of stories he shared. His family will remain in my family's prayers.
I also grew up with "Duck" as we all called him. We all had a very close net relationships and we all felt in the community as brothers and sisters. Our parents knew everyone including everyone else's family including the parents, so there was no getting away with mischief behavior, "lol". We'd gather outdoors, sit on the curbside together, act silly and play street football all day. "THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLE DAYS". Those days will always be cherished and without a doubt I will miss a very good and close friend and Duck will be TRULY missed. My prayers, sympathy and condolences to the family for comfort and strength during this time. Sincerely; Fred Ruffin and family

It is with a heavy heart that I express my sincere sympathy to Duck's wife and the entire family. Duck was a very good friend that I grew up knowing as a big brother figure. I grew up on Bennett St. which was definitely a very special time in my life when we all looked out for each other. Tijuana and Ella are also very dear friends that I grew up with. May God comfort and strengthen each and everyone of you during this very difficult time. Love Chevelle Foust.
We would like to extend our condolences to the family in such a time as this. We will keep the Webb family in our prayers.

My condolence to the family. Khadijah White
