In loving memory of Dennis John Webb known to most as ‘Den’, born in Deptford on 22nd January 1933, who died peacefully in his home on Friday 5th February 2021.
Den was the middle son, born to William and Nellie Webb, along with his two brothers Ron and Stan.
After a fantastic childhood and a short spell in the Army, Den started his career with a brick laying apprenticeship, a profession that he continued and enjoyed throughout his working life until he retired in 1998.
Den married Lily Clark on 28th March 1964, and four years later they had their son David. As a family they spent many happy times together, David was always a willing helper to his Dad when doing jobs around the house, especially when it came to DIY, and messing around with cars.
Den and Lily enjoyed many caravan/camping holidays, especially with his brothers, their wives Jean and Barbara and their children. Over the years, Den and Lily made many other friendships through their caravanning trips.
In 1999, Den and Lily’s first grandson Matthew was born, and later in 2005, Adam was born. Den enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, and was always available for 'baby-sitting'. Even now the grandchildren have grown into young adults, Den always enjoyed seeing them and playing a board game or two.
After the tragic loss of Lily in 2012, Den continued to enjoy life fully, pottering in his garden, and even managed a few caravan holidays with David, Allison and the Grandchildren.
Den will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
