Edward Glen Webb, 81, passed away July 9, 2024, in his home in Denison, Texas.
Glen was born on December 3, 1942 in Kentucky. He grew up in Chester, Pennsylvania with eight siblings.
He graduated from a Mennonite high school in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Upon graduation he joined the United States Air Force. He was stationed abroad in Africa and Germany before landing at Perrin Air Force base in Denison, Texas.
It was in Denison that Glen met the love of his life, Saundra Moore Webb. Married for 61 years, Glen and Saundra had four children.
Glen came from very humble beginnings but he always had a drive to be a great husband, father and provider.
After his military service, Glen embarked on an aviation career with Braniff Airlines. He started out as a mechanic and worked his way up to director of maintenance. When the airline bankrupted in the ’80s, Glen remained in the aviation industry, and in 2002, with his friend and fellow aviation colleague, Derek Gossett, opened Centurion AMS, an aircraft maintenance company. A company he continued to operate until his death.
Glen is a well respected and admired aviation professional. Beyond his career, Glen was a devoted family man. The love he had for his wife, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren is undeniable. His greatest joy was spending precious moments with his family.
Glen inspired his children to put their best effort in every endeavor.
Glen and Saundra were avid boaters and spent most weekends on their boat, Finally. What brought them the most joy was taking their family out on the water.
To his wife and children, Glen was their rock – their hero.
Glen is survived by his wife Saundra and three children: Rachael, Linda and Gary and his wife, Lisa, and his grandchilren: John and Chris Sotello, and their wives Ashley and Rebecca, respectively, and Shawn Manon, and Spencer Webb, as well as many great grandchildren.
