We have lost another member here and on a couple of the M-151 forums.
Toptiger
May he rest in peace.
He passed away from cancer at home in France with his family at his side at 3:00 pm our time this afternoon.

I doubt that a lot of you would know Top since he did not post on here a lot and he was more into M-151's and modell aircraft than he was trucks. I did a search for him on here and did see that he posted here but I did not check every one to see what forums.
Geoffrey "GR" Webster, AKA Toptiger.
Former Army Aviator, Bien Hoa, VN 1968-69

Thanks Rick, for posting that here!
From what Iv'e read about him in the last 24 hrs he was a very generous and well loved man.
I hope we meet him flying at tree top level and laughing.
God bless

In attempting to locate an online obituary for Geoffrey Randolph "GR" Webster, I learned much of this man who devoted himself to several hobbies and was remarkably admired in all he set his heart to.

Let this be a tribute to our friend....

Here are the arrangements that were provided me by his sister.
First, on behalf of the family, let me express how touched we have been at the kind and thoughtful words, memories, and stories you have sent about my brother. I don't know how to convey how comforting and wonderful all the e-mails have been.


Secondly, I promised information about the services in honor of Geoff.


France: A funeral mass will be held

  • Saturday, January 11th at 10 a.m. at the Cathedrale de Grasse, Place du Petit Puit, 06130 Grasse.
  • The interment will be for the family only on Monday, January 13th.
United States: A Memorial Gathering to Celebrate the Life of Geoff "GR" Webster will be held:


  • Saturday, January 18th at 1:00 p.m. at the historic Ramon Theater, 15 East Wall Street, Frostproof, Florida.
  • A reception will follow at "Alligator Lodge," the Webster family home.
I have been asked about flowers. Flowers are welcome at either service. Alternatively, gifts can be made, in his honor, to your favorite charity.


I have a tribute that was put together by a former company he worked for that I will post next.
