Dear Editor,

It is with great sadness that I write this tribute to one of Tomball's sons, William Thomas (Bill) Webb. 

I first met Councilman Bill Webb in 2009, at a city council meeting. Without knowing the political climate in Tomball, I quickly understood that Bill was a no-nonsense conservative with a quick mind, a dry wit and a deep love for his birthplace, Tomball. It was  obvious that this deep love had transformed into a strong devotion to the many people who supported him in his quest to serve the citizens of his beloved Tomball as Mayor, Mayor Pro-tem and City Councilman. 

Over the next three years, I saw Bill work incessantly during two elections in the face of opposition and he never wavered in his goal to serve and he never accepted the inevitable political changes that Tomball was destined to make.

Bill Webb was one of a kind. May his conservative spirit live on.
