This fact did not escape the keen eyes of the late King Hussein of Jordan who, recognizing the tremendous impact he had on healthcare in Jordan, sent him a personal thank you letter. I spent the summer of 1979 at St Mikes.More than 30 years after he last taught me, he remains my mentor and role model for being a doctor every day. St. Michael's established New Jersey's first AIDS inpatient unit and its first AIDS clinic. He is survived by his five children, Leon (Anne), Michele Blackwood (Adam), Stephen (Susan), Ann Denehy (Thad), and Marshall (Amy); his sister, Marion Kuhlemann, and 15 beloved grandchildren. Hospitals were reluctant to admit AIDS patients, doctors and nurses were afraid to care for them, surgeons often refused to operate on them and patients feared rooming with an AIDS patient.

"You'll be just fine "Yes he was correct! He subsequently received his Medical Doctorate from the University Of Alabama School Of Medicine.
Dr. Smith and Peggy hold a special place in my heart. Kathy Grant Nonken I will never forget his genuine kindness, Dr. Smith is a unique gem.
I created two videos for him and his foundation - 7 years apart. His fascination with disease processes & physiology was unsurpassed, and he compelled all of us to never quit until a correct diagnosis was made for a sick patient. We all learned a lot He made us all better doctors.

He will be sorely missed by all of us.He is now one of God's Angels Blessing and peace to all his family. Working together on his autobiography, we got together for several hours of conversation almost every Friday morning.

It makes me feel so proud to say"Yes, I knew him, and to say,"yes, he was my doctor!" We had the privilege of watching him perform miracles and selflessly helping so many! My sincerest condolences to the Smith family. He was kind, gentle, caring, and always made me everyone around him smile. He had not treated my father in a number of years, but he made a special visit to Saint Barnabas to see him. He made me into the doctor I am today. Dan Marcantuono Dr Saima Faruqi Ahmed

I pray that Leon and Peggy are together and there is not any more pain for them. He will be greatly missed. Until his death, he never lost his keen interest in medical science. All will surely miss him. A masterful combination of clinical insight, scientific knowledge and uplifting compassion. I thank him for all he did for me and humanity. Leon P. Smith April 24, 1947 - … What was most impressive to me, is that in an office where I saw many physicians and people of status, Dr. Smith who had the greatest reason to be arrogant was the least. So many inspirational memories of making rounds with him.He was a great DOCTOR! Dr. Leon Smith, one of a kind diagnostician and lover of people, always gave 100% for his patients and consulting physicians.I will always be grateful for knowing and being inspired by Dr, Smith. I only new Dr Smith a short time. There is a gaping hole in our hearts! David Garrison MD

I'm here today because of this wonderful genius. He helped me and befriended me in so many ways. God bless Dr. Leon Smith.

Guest Book sponsored by The Family While I was not his student or resident directly, he helped me so much in my early years in New Jersey, with strategic career advice and general encouragement and even with helping me find covering doctors when I had none. However, when you consider that I am from Jordan and was accepted at St. Michael's in 1986 for training, extending training opportunities for overseas medical graduates at the time was a rarity. L OhioDr. My deepest condolences to Dr Leon Smiths family and friends. I had undiagnosed celiac disease for 3 years and weighted a mere 68lbs at the age of 50.

He will be missed as a unique and loved person. The greatest man I have ever had the privilege to meet. As a young health care analyst 20-some odd years ago, we became friends and he showed me what medicine is supposed to be about - helping other humans with compassion and care. RIP A brilliant but supremely compassionate physician. My prayers are with your family and children.. what a life well lived a legacy of amazement!. Leon G. Smith, M.D. Thanks to Dr. Smith, Jordan now boasts a large contingent of St. Michael's graduates who constitute some of the best physicians in the country. I told her about how he diagnosed a young man with a serious bacterial infection to his arm and how he saved his arm and his life by knowing what to do quickly.
