William H. Webster, the former FBI and CIA director whose troubleshooting skills and integrity helped restore public confidence in those federal agencies, has died, his family announced Friday.

William Webster, the only person to lead both the FBI and CIA, has died. He was 101. “The proud and loving family of the Honorable William H. Webster sadly announces the death of a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and patriot,” his family said in a statement Friday.

Deaths have been on the rise since the Army Corps of Engineers piled 4,700 tons of rock onto an old dam that crossed the river in Jefferson County. “The City must make challenging and difficult decisions created by federal demands,” Spencer wrote in a letter to the public on Friday.
