On Wednesday, October 23rd, Thomas M. Webb (Tom) of Arnold, MD, born in Boston, Mass. loving husband, father and grandfather went to be with the Lord at the age of 68, following complications associated with his cancer diagnosis.

Tom served his country honorably in the Army, completing two tours in Vietnam, where he was sent as a boy at only 17 years of age. On his return, he began a lifelong career in transit as a bus operator for the MBTA in Boston. After working his way through Salem State College, he earned his JD from New England School of Law. Tom would end the career he loved as Vice President & Chief Labor Relations Officer at DC Metro (WMATA). Work was a source of great joy and fulfillment for Tom, who valued relationships with colleagues and friends immensely throughout his 40 year career.

Tom cherished the time he spent with his beloved wife Huong. They especially enjoyed their time in Naples, FL where they kept their second home and planned to retire together. Devoted father to Ashley, father in law to Paul, and Chippy (long story) to granddaughters Colby and Harper.

Predeceased  by his mother Elizabeth, Tom is survived by his father Warren (Jean), sisters Barbara Clougher, Deb Kerr, Karen Gest (Kevin), Jean Sawtelle (Bob), Laura Rivers (Eric), Keri Marshall (Gene) and Danielle Rousayne; brothers Stephen and Robert (Terry) and many nieces and nephews.

In life Tom sought to lighten the burden for all he could help, and in his sickness he saw many children in the halls of the cancer centers where he was treated. He often said that he wished he could take the suffering away from them, and let his replace theirs.

Gifts may be made in Tom's memory to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital:262 Danny Thomas Place, Memphis, TN 38105 StJude.org/donate
