Mr. Webster was a history buff on World War II and the Civil War, and shared stories with his family about the 50 missions he flew, said his daughter, Linda Gilchrist.
"He talked about them quite often," Gilchrist said. "He had his humorous stories and his serious stories."
Born in Camden, Mr. Webster graduated from Moorestown Friends School in 1940. He spent two years at Lehigh University before leaving to join the Army. He returned to Lehigh and graduated in 1946.
He spent nearly 30 years at Cooper University Hospital, first as an assistant administrator and then as treasurer, and retired in 1982.
Mr. Webster was an active member of the Camden County YMCA and served as treasurer for several decades. During the winter holidays, he would help the YMCA sell Christmas trees and at Easter would return home from the Easter egg hunt with his pockets stuffed full of chocolate coconut eggs, Gilchrist said.
But his favorite treats came from his wife, Nancy, who he married Sept. 9, 1950. Nancy learned to cook her husband's favorite "homestyle" meals from his mother, Gilchrist said.
Besides his wife, daughter and son, Mr. Webster is survived by four grandchildren, two great-grandchildren; two sisters; and a brother.
