Edwin Francis "Doc" Leibold
Sequim resident Edwin Francis "Doc" Leibold died Dec. 4, 2006 in Sequin at the age of 90. Dr. Leibold was born Jan. 16, 1916 in Shakopee, Minn. to Mrs. Katherine J. (Engel) and Edwin G. Leibold. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree at University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minn. and went on to medical school at Marquette Univ. In June of 1940 he married Laurine C.

In 1966 he joined the Volunteer Physicians for Vietnam program and spent his tour of duty working in a provincial hospital in Nha Trang, 200 miles northeast of Saigon.
He loved people and thrived on connecting with them by calling, writing or stopping for a visit. He reached out to dozens of people every week until he was no longer able to. He believed that everyone could make a contribution and he was responsible for encouraging and sponsoring many students and people in need. He devoted his life to serving others in many different ways. Dr. Leibold and his wife were active in the church and instrumental in building both St. Anne's church in Forks and St. Thomas the Apostle church in Clallam Bay. After retiring in 1986 they moved to Sequim, enjoying their winters in Thousand Palms, Calif. until after Mrs. Leibold's death in 1999.
