Edwin Duane Weibert was born to Pete and Molly Weibert. He went Home to be with the Lord and his wife Hazel Elizabeth just 13 days shy of his 90th birthday. Eddie and Hazel were married in 1941 and had been married 59 years as of her passing in 2000.
Eddie was raised in Durham, Kansas and moved to California in 1936 to join his two brothers, Harvey and Fred. He worked at the Millerton Cafe on Abby until WWII started. He then joined the U.S. Army Air Corp. and after boot camp he was transferred back to Fresno where he was stationed at Hammer Field for the remainder of the war. He was a Tech Sgt. and in charge of the officers mess. He was put in line three times to go overseas but the base commander pulled him out every time because he was the best cook on base. Eddie cooked for over two thousand officers a day and for many dignitaries that visited the base on inspections.
After the war Eddie went into the construction business with his brother Fred. In 15 years time they built many custom homes and commercial buildings in Fresno. Eddie also built his own home close to the airport and he and Hazel moved into it in 1951. Their home was featured in The Fresno Bee with a picture of them and their two sons, Arlen and Dennis, sitting on the front porch. One of the buildings Eddie built was the Jet Drive In - Coffee Shop at 1234 N. First Street. Eddie and Hazel bought it in 1959 and ran the coffee shop for over 26 years until their retirement. Eddie was loved by his grandchildren, spending many hours fishing with them at the family owned cabin in North Fork. He was involved in many churches in Fresno and also was on the board for Fresno Youth for Christ.
Eddie is survived by his two sons, Arlen of North Fork and his wife Gayle, and Dennis of Clovis and his wife Katy. He has four grandsons Vince, Michael, Matthew and Nathaniel, all of Clovis. He also has two stepgranddaughters, Carisa of Fresno and Julia of Alhambra; and seven great-grandchildren.
