Obituary for William M. “Billy” Webb, Jr.

He became a volunteer for the Pulaski Fire Department in 1983. He became a full-time firefighter in 1991, and acting chief in 2000 and permanent chief in 2001 of Pulaski. He was also a member of the Draper Volunteer Fire Department for 42 years.

Kathy and Elizabeth and Webb Family
I was so saddened by the news of Billy. I know what a great hurt and loss it is.
I thought a lot of Billy and he was always so nice to me.
it takes time and a lot of it to get use to losing a loved one. My Jim has been
gone for 6 years and I’m still trying to adjust. If I can help in anyway Kathy, please
let me know. Just take it one day at a time!
Blessings to you and the family and like Bob Hope use to close his t.v. show with
years ago, “Thanks for the Memories,.” Barkey

I came across this as I was searching for my cousin Billy Webb (unrelated). I was touched though because reading about the passing of someone I do not know, makes one think… what is the measure of a man? Sounds like Billy Webb Jr met the standard by any measure. A family peace loving man who found the time and fortitude to help others and make a career out of it. Condolences to the family and friends. Big people leave big spaces to fill. All the best. Dean
