Louis Leslie Wasserman

On January 11th, 1968 at 4:11 pm in Duke Hospital, Dr. Leslie Wasserman delivered me to my parents the late Robert & Evelyn Saunders of Durham, NC. For over 3 decades, I've always wondered what ever happened to him and if whether or not he was still in the Durham, NC area. Growing up I was always an analytical kid who loved to read and figure out ways to repair (break, lol) things such as my toys, etc. It wasn't until I became a teenager when my mom finally gave me my, "Certificate of Live...

Though it has been 3 years since Dr. Wasserman left this earth, I just found out today that he did. He came to mind many times through the years and I looked him up,, but only today I found him here. He was my doctor for a few years and delivered my miracle baby girl in May of 1990. I went through premature labor way early and the chances of survival were slim.

I believe I'm one of the 7000 babies he delivered in the 80's. My birthday is near and saw his name on my crib card and found he passed. Thank you doc for bringing me safely into the world.

I was a resident with Les at Duke and a fishing buddy. We kept in touch all to infrequently in the following years. One of my greatest regrets is that I was not aware that he was ill. I tried to reach him in the time that he must have been aware of trouble, but to no avail. However, it is typical that Les did not easily share the sometime very difficult times he experienced. I knew him to be one of the most kind, compassionate, unassuming people to have walked on this planet.

An amazing man in every way. He touched so many with his spirit, kindness and beautiful voice. Amy and I had many funny memories with him. Memories that I will always cherish.

I sang in the choir at Virginia Beach United Methodist Church with Les for many years. Always enjoyed his beautiful voice. Sending love to those left behind.
