Robert Web stood as a king among men. If you grew up black around Albemarle Sound you probably worked for him. A leader in the Baptist church and successful businessman with two lovely daughters who adorned themselves with the grace of beautiful spirit.
When I met Mr. Web I knew he meant “bidness.” Please understand that my respect for Mr. Web and his family is unflinching.
I don’t remember any real exchanges with Mr. Web, only his firm hand shake from his secure, dominate, unmistakably powerful yet kind demeanor where his person sat behind those eyes looking out saying he meant “bidness.” Robert was the type of Christ-like man, who gave hope to many around the sound like Sharon, her family and members of the Baptist church in which he was an elder.
