DR. LESLIE R. “LES” 
COHEN, 73, of West 
Bloomfield, died Nov. 
23, 2024. 
Les graduated as 
valedictorian of Niles 
North High School (class of ’69). 
In the summer of ’68, he was a 
research student at the Jackson 
Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, 
solidifying his desire to join the 
medical profession. After attending 
the Johns Hopkins University, the 
University of Chicago, as well as 
the Pritzker School of Medicine, he 
became a physician, specializing in 
radiology. He began his practice in 
1980 in Flint, where he also served 
as an assistant clinical professor 
at Michigan State University, 
mentoring and sharing his expertise 
in interventional angiography.
In 1988, Les was appointed 
chairman of the Imaging 
Department at Sturdy Memorial 
Hospital in Attleboro, Mass., a 
position he held with dedication 
for 20 years. After an impressive 
43 years in practice, Les retired in 
December 2023, leaving behind a 
legacy of excellence in his field.
Les and Fran raised their family 
in Warwick, R.I. They were 
privileged to own a boat that 
allowed them to travel to Cape Cod 
and the Islands, Long Island and 
Connecticut.
Les was an avid golfer, 
competitive tennis player and an 
avid sports fan. He loved reading 
both fiction and nonfiction. Les 
took great pride in his family’s 
closeness. He will always be a part 
of their souls and hold a special 
place in the hearts of all who were 
honored to call him a friend. 
He is survived by his beloved 
wife of 52 years, Francine Cohen; 
children, Daniel (Shana) Cohen 

and Andrea (Jared) Charrette; 
grandchildren, Eli, Zoey and 
Eliana; siblings, Marla (the late 
John) Ashford and Mitchell (Beth 
Mcelroy) Cohen; nieces and 
nephews, Ilana (Steven) Dorsey,

Cemetery in Forest Park, Ill.

Pritzker School of Medicine at the 
University of Chicago Medicine.
