I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Weatherby at Doylestown MRI and through the years when he became one of my bosses at Parlee & Tatem (Doylestown Radiology). I will always remember his thoughtfulness, generosity, and kindness. He was definitely one of a kind and will be greatly missed by everyone whose life he touched. Rest in peace Dr. W.

My oldest dearest Navy friend.
I could have down a 10 times longer eulogy, as I only touched the surface of the legend.
Missed greatly by me and many others veterans!

I worked with Dr Weatherby during his time at Doylestown Hospital. He was a fun-loving character who always had concern for others. He was generous in his gifts and advice.

Sympathies to the entire Weatherby family. Ted was a fountain of kindness and thoughtfulness. If I saw Ted at work, I knew I was going to have a great day. To quote from Washington Irving,
"A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles." We always smiled and laughed together. Thanks and God bless you Ted.

Ted and I first met in 5th grade at the Flourtown school. As well as many other students who lived in the area. How many kids can say they basically went to school in a one room School house where every day we read the Bible and Rang the Bell to start the day. I remember Ted helping me find Bible verses to read because I was a little scared. Ted was a stand out because of his Silver/Blonde hair, We all basically went to all the same schools all the way to Springfield High, and through all the years Ted never stopped his big Smile, his Kindness, Friendship or his Silver / Blonde hair. Oh , Did he ever tell you at the Flourtown School we had recess behind the school in the Cow Pasteur But no worries Ted would warn everyone where they were. Lol. God Bless you Ellsworth the 3rd and your Family.

I´m sorry for your loss. I too lost my father to Parkinson´s 31 years ago. Not a day goes by that I haven´t thought of him. The pain will pass and the joy of his love and caring will last and soon the memories will bring smiles instead of tears. Godspeed in your healing

Please keep and carry these precious people in their sadness and loss. Cover them with your great wings of love, give their weary hearts rest and their minds sound sleep. Lord, lift their eyes so that they may catch a glimpses of eternity, and be comforted by the promise of heaven. I hope this prayer helps you and your loved ones. Dr. Weatherby will be missed. I am glad I had the honor to have met such an amazing man.
