Larry Webb (68-72) died this past Sunday 2/3/19 in a hospital bed in the loving arms of his wife Mary Jane. You may have known that LARRY had been suffering with CTE for the past 4 or 5 years. Really not able to leave his house, daily nausea, vertigo and mental decline. He ultimately died from Renal Cell carcinoma and was in hospice since his diagnosis in October. Mary Jane had him at home until the Wednesday before his death. He was in tremendous pain up until his death so his passing was a blessing to him and MJ. His brain has already been sent to Boston for analysis and results will be available in about 6 months. His wife only asked for continuing prayers and I told her we could do that. Really going to miss Lawrence of Angleton, “Old Catfish Mouth”.

Update 01/09/2020 from Dan Terwelp about Larry Webb

Hi Billy and happy new year. I heard from MaryJane Webb and the neurologists and pathologists in Boston that examined LARRY’s brain completed their work and called her. They found multiple Tao deposits in his frontal lobes. Tao deposits are proteins that accumulate in the brains of patients suffering from CTE and also Alzheimer’s disease. They classified him as stage II CTE. Remember he didn’t die of CTE but he would have if he hadn’t had Renal Cell Carcinoma (kidney cancer). She told them they could use his information for any presentations or research that they were performing. She said we can share this information also with anyone. They had talked about it before he died that he hoped some of this information might help this new generation of athletes. The anniversary of his death is next month. She said she will never be right without Lawrence of Angleton as we all affectionately called him. He was one of a kind.
