Webster retired from Givaudan in 2000, and was inducted into the Fragrance Foundation’s Hall of Fame. He became Givaudan’s worldwide president after serving as president, North America for Givaudan-Roure when the company merged in 1991.

Webster first joined Roure in 1972, and was the company’s vice president, Europe; and then became chairman, chief executive officer and president in 1987.

Webster is survived by his wife and three children; mother and stepfather; two sisters; half brother Alivin F. Lindsay, and two stepsisters.
