I happen to have know Mr. Gordon Webb. Gordon put a great deal back to this community, even if you agreed or disagreed, with his actions. He put all his HEART and ENERGY, to make the City of Kingston,& County of Ulster, a Better place to live, for our Future. I must admit that Gordon & I were NOT always on the same page, but I respected his opinion, and it was OK to disagree with him. <BR/><BR/>It is disturbing to read the NEGATIVE & disrespectful comments that have been posted on this BLOG, after Gordons passing. It is VERY CLEAR that the Negative writings did NOT know Mr.Webb.<BR/><BR/>FYI - Posting 7:11 AM - Mr Webb was very well educated. He Graduated from a GREAT School - St.John's University - Queens, NY<BR/><BR/>PLEASE - If you have nothing POSITIVE to say after someones passing. Leave it alone. It must be sad for Gordon's Friends and Family to read these NEGATIVE postings.<BR/><BR/>I visit the many BLOGs of this community, and THANK the folks (Bloggers) for there time and effort to educate the community of the many happings, here in Ulster County. I feel the Negative posting, of Gordon Webb are VERY uncalled for after his passing.<BR/><BR/>It is my hope you can take comfort in the love of Gordons friends and family during this sad time, and think fondly on the wonderful memories you have of your time with him. <BR/><BR/>May you rest in PEACE.

As most of you know Gordon loved to debate so as the spinmasters continue their ever present assult on our fair City twisting reality to fit their own political aganda's, so to may the new upcoming generation of debaters/dreamers continue and carry on Gordons "main theme" one of a cleaner, safer, Kingston for our families our children and our neighborhoods. with all do respect to all political parties that in it's self is what Gordon lived for and stood for.
