I got a nice response from Spike including a reference to Teddy flying a plane.

I offer prayers of strength to all of Mr. Webb's family and friends at this difficult time. His designs and knowledge will be his legacy and a gift to modeling and all future builders.

Sadly in our hobby where we are predominantly of a certain age group this is a reality we must often face. We must celebrate the memories of those that have left us and not wallow in our own mortality. The older we get, the more precious our days become so use them well and enjoy them at the same time.

That's sad, Gary's knowledge and wisdom will be missed. His love of schooners was an inspiration to many of us,

Yes Gary will be greatly missed by many if his followers around the globe.

I have been in contact with him before and after his stroke, which he suffered two years ago. He made two videos about a model with a flat bottom but it never came to market. I have seen photos and sketches of it.

Spike has put his career on hold looking after his dad these past few years.

Gary Webb has passed away

Gary’s son, Spike Webb, wrote me to say his father passed away peacefully. Spike gave me permission to share this with people on the website.

Gary Webb, of bearospaceindustries, first designed the sloop Emma, then came Irene, along with several other variations of schooners. He had a series of YouTube videos ranging in topics of various builds, how to make DIY cotton sails, Blocks, Stability and Size, Servo sail controls, and even recognizing how people around the globe shared their experiences and projects by making and sailing Gary’s designs.

If you wish to extend condolences and share with Spike what his dad meant to you, drop him a email at:
spikeeewebb@hotmail.com

Respectfully

Ronald
Gary’s Emma
