Dean Webb
June 14, 1941 – January 6, 2023
Dean Charles Webb, 81, lovingly known by many as the
"Ole Pro," went home to the "great golf course in the sky"
on Friday, January 6, 2023.
Dean was born in Framingham, MA on June 14, 1941, and
was raised in Natick, MA. Throughout his life, Dean was an athletic superman.
His accomplishments started with firing a nine-hole total of 31 as a
13-year-old at Natick Country Club. He attended Natick High School, Class of
1959 where he played golf, hockey, football, and track. In 2013 Dean was
inducted into the Natick High School athletic hall of fame for his
accomplishments across all the sports. He attended Northeastern University on a
hockey scholarship and continued to play golf, hockey, and football. In 1981 he
was awarded with the induction into the Northeastern University athletic hall
of fame as a "whole athlete." Dean was the captain of the Huskies
football team in 1963 when they went undefeated and untied, the only year in
the history of the school. The entire 1963 football team was inducted into the
athletic hall of fame in 2022 for this accomplishment. After graduation from
college, he coached football, hockey, and golf at a local MA high school. His
love for golf led him to make a career as a PGA golf professional. He was the
director of golf and ski instructor at the Balsams Hotel in Dixville, NH for a
few years and then moved to the Mt. Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, NH where
he spent over 20 years as the director of golf. In the winter months, Dean was
the director of the ski school at Bretton Woods where he would be found
teaching and challenging himself on the black diamond trails, including
Tuckerman Ravine. Later on, in the winter months, he would travel south to
Marco Island, FL, where he was a golf professional at the Marco Island Country
Club. While there, he was mentored by golfing legends Gene Sarazen
and Ken Venturi. Dean had a love for construction and built out the subdivision
in Twin Mountain, New Hampshire, where he and his family lived.
In 1993, Dean moved his family full-time to Marco
Island, Florida, where he spent his day's golfing, swimming in the pool with
his daughters and German Shepard dogs, listening to 1950s and 1960s rock and
roll music, working out at the gym, and helping others buy and sell real
estate.
Wherever he went, Dean always had a word of
encouragement, a song to share, and a positive story to tell.
Dean was preceded in death by his brother Allan, his
mother Josephine, and his father Charles. Dean is survived by his daughters
Danielle and Jessica, grandchildren Miranda, Matthew, and Lucas, brother
Warren, sister, Marsha, and many extended family and friends who loved him
dearly.
Dean's wishes were for any gifts in his memory to be
made to Hospice.
