“Everybody that I know who encountered him loved him not only for the physician he was but for the person he was. He had an outstanding reputation as a surgeon and as a physician leader, and he was compassionate,” said Dr. Samuel Ross, who retired in 2020 from Bon Secours-Mercy Health System, where he worked closely with Dr. Leacock, who after he retired from practicing surgery in 2004, worked at Bon Secours Hospital as a physician-adviser.

“ [博士Leacock]是一位杰出而庄严的绅士，他的方法是学术，但总是有幽默感。”

Howard T. Jessamy, former administrator at Baltimore’s Provident Hospital, was not only a colleague but a longtime friend of 39 years.

“He was well-liked by his colleagues and patients,” Mr. Jessamy said. “He was a calm and reasonable person. He was both an efficient and effective physician.”

Leacock博士出生于纽约市，当他的母亲不允许在曼哈顿练习助产士时，她在一家服装工厂担任裁缝工作。为儿子寻求更好的育儿，她派他和母亲住在巴巴多斯。

He obtained his medical degree in 1960 from Howard University Medical School and completed a general surgical residency at the old Fort Howard Veterans Hospital and residences in both thoracic and cardiovascular surgery from what is now the University of Maryland Medical Center.

During his junior year at Columbia, he met and fell in love with the former Yvonne Smith, a student at Barnard College, whom he met in a religion class. They married in 1968.

In 2017, Dr. Leacock received a letter from retired Army Maj. Roy Dean, whom he had treated during the war and who finally located the man who saved his life after searching military records that are held in St. Louis.

“On March 3, 1967, you were given the task of receiving me in the 18th Surgical Hospital in Pleiku. I had been hit with incoming artillery, my face, both shoulders, and chest which damaged my liver, gall bladder and several ribs,” Maj. Dean had written. “For four days every time I woke up I would see your face and watch your hands do their magic on my body to make it better ... For fifty years, I have seen your face and hands, not knowing who you were ... It would be nice to talk and express my thanks to you for saving my life.”

莱科克夫人说：“那封信于2017年到达，我们立即给他打电话，以便他们两个可以聊天。”“越南真是个痛苦的时期，当他回家时，他只是把一切都扔进了盒子里。”

1967年出院后，他于1969年在现在的马里兰大学医学中心（University of Maryland Medical Center）完成了胸腔手术的居留式，并被任命为Liberty Heights Avenue的老式医院。

After holding several surgical positions at Los Angeles County-Martin Luther King Jr. General Hospital, Dr. Leacock returned to Baltimore in 1987 when he was appointed chief of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery at Bon Secours Hospital, during which time he also served as chief of thoracic surgery at what is now the University of Maryland Medical Center Midtown Campus.

From 1990 to 1992, he was vice president of medical affairs for the old Liberty Medical Center and from 1992 to 1999 was chairman of the hospital’s department of surgery. He also maintained a private surgical practice until retiring in 2004.

Leacock博士于2015年从Bon Secours医院退休，自2004年以来，他一直是医师顾问。

A world traveler, some of his most meaningful journeys were to the Holy Land on pilgrimages that had been organized and guided by the Rev. Wendell H. Phillips, pastor of Heritage United Church, who baptized Dr. Leacock in the Jordan River.

他的妻子说：“他不是教会的成员，但他会陪伴我们进行圣经学习和精神静修。”
