Leslie B. Hadfy
Dr. Leslie B. Hadfy died on June 1, 2000, in Luzerne, Switzerland. Born in Budapest, Hungary, on March 9, 1923, he was 77.
Having immigrated to the United States in 1950, he was a longtime resident of Davis. He earned his master's degree from UC Berkeley in biochemistry. He graduated from UC San Francisco Medical School and interned at Kaiser Hospital and Letterman Army Hospital. After serving as a physician in the U.S. Air Force, he completed his pathology residency in San Francisco at the UC Medical School.
He became Yolo County's first full-time pathologist in 1964 and served as county coroner for Yolo and Sutter counties. He also served as laboratory director at the Cowell Student Health Center at UC Davis and at Davis Community Hospital.
Hadfy founded and headed the Yolo Diagnostic Medical Group and Davis Clinical Laboratory, retiring in 1988. Since retirement, he began spending time in both California and Switzerland.
He is survived and mourned by Charlotte Wutholen of Switzerland, Ildiko Kathy Fortier of Fresno, his nephew and niece, Rodolfo and Dora Hadfy of Venezuela, all their families, and many friends worldwide.
In honoring his wishes, the family requests that remembrances be made to the American Cancer Society.
A memorial mass will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at St. Peter's Cemetery, 254 N. Blythe, Fresno. Interment will follow immediately at St. Peter's.
