Jeanette and family, I'm so very sorry to hear about Dr. Leahey. It was an honor working with him at Mercy Hospital in the X-Ray Department back in the 70's. He was a great Radiologist and such a kind person. I used to laugh especially, when Dr. Decker would call him "Wild Bill." May he rest in peace.
