Robert "Bob" Webb

Central Ohio lost a big man – Bob Webb, a giant in the building community for over a 60+ year career, left us September 24th, 2023, just days before his 92nd birthday. Standing almost 6 ½ board feet, he left his defining mark on homebuilding in Central Ohio.

Bob had sawdust in his blood and lumber in his bones. He built a brand based on quality construction, attention to detail and instilled that value into his employees, subcontractors and his daughter, Becky, who continues to steer the ship. A stellar reputation that continues to live on and add value to the many homes he has proudly built.

Many enjoyed seeing his creations over the years in The Parade of Homes participating in 16+ Parades and winning countless awards. Bob was honored by his peers by being named BIA Builder of the Year in 1977 and was inducted into the BIA’s Hall of Fame in 2013.

Bob was a lover of making land deals and cruising the various communities where he was building to check on their homes under construction.

Bob had an unparalleled love for life! He loved his work, his family and his friends. He worked hard and played hard! In leisure, he and his family and friends enjoyed the fast lane initially in go-fast boats and slowed the pace later on—cruising Lake Erie, Florida and the Bahamas.

Organized to the hilt, he stored most everything in Tupperware containers. A clean freak—you could have eaten off the floor in his garage or the bilge of his boat.

Dogs were his companions both at home and in the office. Jack Russell Terriers, Jazz and Putter were assigned greeting duty for many guests and home buyers. He had a gentle and soft side too, making room at home for his cat, Jake.

Bob was never in a hurry until God called him up, first to be with beloved wife, Elaine, and then probably to oversee some new construction. God’s son was a carpenter you know.

Bob will be greatly missed by his family, children, Becky (Neil) Rogers and Doug Webb; granddaughter Ava Rogers; brother in law, Pete Taylor; and numerous nieces and nephews, extended family and close family friends.

Bob was preceded in death by wife, Elaine, parents Walter and Stella Webb, brother Jim Webb, sisters Roe Nemec and Jeri Wunderle and his beloved pooches Jazz and Putter.

The family would like to express their gratitude and appreciation for the excellent care and immeasurable kindness given to Bob from the amazing health professionals at Riverside Methodist Hospital. A special thank you to Dr. Kander who was an incredible doctor and so much more.

Arrangements entrusted to Schoedinger Dublin. A small, private-family only service will be held to honor Bob.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory can be made to the American Heart Association. To share online condolences, please visit www.schoedinger.com.
