Tommy was the great grandson of William Webb who came to Texas from Virginia in the 1840’s and settled a ranch where the city of Fort Worth now stands. The family later moved to Southeast Texas settling in what is now known as Sabine Pass and in the 1880’s finally made their home in Hamshire.
He was a member of the Texas Southwestern Cattlemen’s Assn., the American Quarter Horse Assn., and the Rodeo Cowboys’ Assn. Tommy was an excellent horseman and storyteller. He loved to laugh with friends and was a beloved, attentive and proud Paw Paw. He fought an extremely hard battle in his last days and was a true example of strength and courage, winning the respect of his medical team and the hearts of his nurses. He rode into his sunset surrounded by his family and the love and admiration they had for him. Tommy was dearly loved and will be missed beyond words.
