John Jack Webb, August 28, 1935 — August 24, 2018

Obituary for JOHN “JACK” WEBB John Frederick “Jack” Webb, 82, passed away on August 24, 2018, in Villa Rica, Georgia. He was born in Rochester, New Hampshire, and spent a unique childhood in Central and South America as part of the United Fruit Company family. Jack especially enjoyed his years in La Lima, Honduras, where he had many happy adventures with those who would turn out to be lifelong friends.

Jack graduated from Tulane University with a degree in political science and was an officer in the United States Marine Corps. He went on to have a fulfilling career with the Central Intelligence Agency as an intelligence officer specializing in Latin America, followed by a second chapter as a certified federal court interpreter and translator. Jack spoke fluent Spanish and was always reading, learning and talking about language and history.

He was a natural storyteller and the life of the party. After his retirement, Jack enjoyed long bike rides and tending to his palm, avocado and key lime trees, which he gifted to anyone who asked about them. Jack was the beloved husband of Mary Bergell Webb, his wife of 34 years; cherished Papa of Rachel Fernandez (Erik), John Webb (Julie) and Margaret Webb; GrandPapa to Ruby Webb; and the devoted brother of Corinna Biondolillo (Michael).

He was predeceased by his parents Robert and Corinna Roesch Webb and his sister, Roberta Beer.
