Dr. Eddie practiced medicine in San Antonio at the downtown Baptist Memorial Hospital from June 1, 1935 until May 1, 1990 and was licensed until November 3O, 2000. He was chief of Staff at BMH in 1959. He was founding member of the Bexar County Mounted Posse and the Shrine Mounted Sons of the Desert. For over 50 years he was member of the Triune # 15 Masonic Lodge, 32-Degree Scottish Rite Mason, Alzafar Shrine, Royal Order of Jesters, and various other organizations. Dr. Weatherford was preceded in death by four brothers, a sister and two wives. He is survived by daughter Sally A. Panettiere and husband Bruce; daughter, Judy G.

Saucedo; several nieces and nephews and their families; several stepgrandchildren and great-grandchildren. He truly believed that it is better to give than to receive. He was very strong and stood up to the many challenges God put before him. The last 5 years of his life were spent caring for his great grandchildren at his home 4 days a week. To the end his family always came first. He cared for himself and his family with a clear mind and an active lifestyle until the day he died. And now it's his turn to rest. Goodnight Dr. Eddie, Eddie, Bean-pa. Goodnight Boom-Pa, Dad, Daddy. We Love You. You may pay your respects at the visitation on Thursday, September 20 from 10 A.M. to 9 P.M. at Porter Loring.
