PETER PAUL WEBSTER
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Peter Paul Webster, formerly of Utica, N.Y., died Sunday, May 29, 2005, in Las Vegas, Nev., where he had been visiting his mother.
Mr. Webster was born Sept. 23, 1957, in St. Albans, a son of Frederick Webster and Dorothy Carabine. At the time of his birth his parents had lost a son and had three daughters. What a joy it was to them to have their newborn son!
He attended Lake Region Union High School, where he was a long distance runner, setting several school records. He was manager of the basketball team, and active in student council and various clubs. He was in the National Honor Society and was sent to Boys State. Faculty and fellow students alike respected him. However busy school kept him, he still had time to actively work with his father on the family farm in Coventry. After high school he attended the University of Vermont.
After college he moved to Boston, Mass., where he worked for several years. While living in Boston, he helped care for elderly family members. He was especially sensitive to their needs and was wonderful in providing excellent care.
He decided to move back home to the family farm many years ago, where he lived until three years ago. He then moved to Utica to live with his sister Anna. While in Utica he became an honorary member of the Boiler Maker Club.
It was always important to him to be with his family, as they were primary in his life. His oldest sister Paulette always made sure he had a calling card so he could stay in touch wherever he was, and she was the family "travel agent, " arranging flights for him so he could visit different family members. He would come home to the farm and visit his sisters in Richmond, Virginia, as often as possible, considering Valerie the "bread and breakfast" stay.
His brother Daniel has always been his best friend. The two brothers would visit every day when he lived on the farm. His special role as uncle to Scott, Bobby, Frederick, Faith, Tonya, Donald, Dianna, Sarah, Andrea, Daniel, David, Aimee, Diana, and Billy was something of which he was particularly proud.
