The Monterey Peninsula Flycasters
A tribute to John Webber
 

He had four sons, teaching them survival skills in the wilderness, surfing the ocean, and skiing in the mountains. John loved being in the outdoors, camping and having a fishing rod in his hands. He was a fine teacher and counselor, helping those who had difficulty in succeeding. He als o coached water polo, swimming and fishing, having the only black water polo players in the country at that time.
John is survived by his beloved wife, Dena; four sons: John, Jr. (Margaret) of Austin, TX, Edward of Phoenix, AZ, William Hunter of Jackson Hole, WY and Paul of Bainbridge Island, WA. He is also survived by his granddaughters, Olivia and Emily of Austin and his stepdaughter, Jessica Cooper Blount of Big Sur, CA.
A Celebration of John's Life will be held Sunday, August 7, 2011 from 2:00-5:00PM at the Sally Griffith Senior Center in Pacific Grove.
Donations may be made in John's memory to the Hospice of the Central Coast (Westland House) and the Peace and Justice Center in Seaside.
John was sure he would recognize his Creator when he moved into the next dimension after life.

Peace be with you John.

While you’re waiting for the rest of us, please teach my dad how to fly fish.  I never got a chance to do that.

Pacific Grove - John R. Weber, 78, passed away at home on May 31, 2011.  John was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on October 10, 1932. He had a great childhood in Hawaii and was evacuated to the Mainland after Pearl Harbor was bombed. He graduated from the University of Utah in 1955 and continued in graduate school to become a certified teacher and counselor in California.

He was a good husband, giving his wife, Dena, a kiss everyday.  He loved to go fishing, caught and released all of the trout and savored the wild salmon he kept.
