Guillermo Padilla, M.D. Obituary
Dr. Padilla was born in Muzquiz, Coahuila, Mexico on September 11, 1926, the youngest of three sons. He graduated from the Universidad de Nuevo Leon Medical School in Monterrey, Mexico in 1951, where he met his wife of 62 years, Lupina. In 1956, he moved to Houston to raise his family and begin his practice in the East End of Downtown Houston. For more than 50 years, Dr. Padilla serviced the Hispanic community at the Padilla Medical Clinic, where he valued every single patient and their families. When he wasn't caring for his patients, Dr. Padilla enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. You could find him on a golf course or at El Ojito, his ranch in his home town of Muzquiz, where he spent much of his time.
Dr. Padilla is survived by his loving wife, Lupina; four children, Claudia, Genie, William and Richie; grandchildren, Maelesa, William, Elisabeth, Antonio, Malorie, Juan-Tomas, Angelica and Anamaria.
The family wishes to thank Dr. Sam Jahani for his professionalism and attentiveness during our most difficult time. A special thanks also to the many caregivers especially Liliana Estupiñan and Irma Alvarado.
Friends are invited to visit with the family at 5:00 p.m., Sunday, December 15, 2013, with a Rosary beginning at 6:00 p.m., at Earthman Bellaire Funeral Home. A memorial mass honoring Dr. Padilla will be held at 1:00 p.m., Monday, December 16, 2013, at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church, 2405 Navigation Blvd., Houston, TX 77003.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. Although I did not know the family, I knew Dr. Padilla. I am in my forties now, and when I was "much" younger, my parents (who were his age) would take me to see Dr. Padilla. My mother established a good relationship with him and from that point on, he was the only doctor I ever went to see until my adult years. He had such a good bedside manner, always listened attentively, and was the only doctor my mother would ever see. My Mom and Dad are no longer with us anymore, but I know they would want me to thank you for all those years you took medical care of our family. May you rest in peace now after taking care of others for so long. Thank you Dr. Padilla!
