Clint; born in Brigham City, Utah and resident of Los Alamos; passed away peacefully in his home with his loving family by his side. He fought a long, courageous and dignified battle, but the long-term effects of Alzheimer’s took its toll. Clint was predeceased by his parents Bert and Hattie Webb; and his grandson Tyler Webb.

Clint was survived by his sweetheart Shirley, his children Terri Rogers (Roy), Cindi Solomon (Cal), Kathi Fisher (Kane), and David Webb (Chearsten); 15 grandchildren: Heather, Ken, Aaron, Sara, Megan, Nicole, Carli, Danielle, Skyeanne, Brad, Ethan, Kristen, Samuel, Jack and Ellana; 12 great-grandchildren; and many special family members and friends.

Clint was adopted by Bert and Hattie Webb shortly after his birth. He was adored by his mother and he loved and adored her until she passed away when he was 15 years old. He grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada and met his wife while in High School, but they didn’t start dating until after they both graduated. Clint and Shirley were married 23 November 1957 and celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary last November.

Clint started his career in 1956 with EG&G at the Nevada Test Site. He spent months on the Eniwetok Atoll in the Marshall Islands photographing weapons testing. He was part of Operation Red Wing, Operation Hardtack, Operation Hardtack Phase II and Operation Cherrypicker. He worked on Project Rover: Kiwi A, Kiwi B-1A, Kiwi B-1B, Kiwi B-4A, Nerva NRX-A2 and NRX-A3 reactors. He also worked on high altitude test shots in Alaska. His work involved the high speed streak photography and imaging for weapons testing. Clint and Shirley started their family in Las Vegas where they had 4 children. The family moved to Los Alamos in 1969 and several years later he transferred from EG&G to Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. He loved his work at the Laboratory and he and his family transferred back and forth between Las Vegas and Los Alamos several times until finally settling for good in Los Alamos in 1985. He was a wonderful father, a loving husband and a kind man. He loved camping, fishing and boating with his family. He loved hunting with his son, grandson and friends. He took up snow skiing when he was 54 years old. He loved scouting and received his Wood Badge while he was a scout leader, which he did for many years. He was an avid astronomer and photographer. He had a wonderful antique camera collection. He taught his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren the love of stargazing and photography. His love of gardening was apparent when one visited his home. He was an expert prankster and taught his children how to laugh and/or cry. He was the world’s best handyman and after retirement, he started a home improvement business. He could fix, build and duct tape just about anything.

A memorial service was held on 11 June 2018 at the White Rock LDS Chapel. Graveside service followed at the Guaje Pines Cemetery in Los Alamos.
