Jun 18, 1939---Oct 31, 2026

Leslie “Doc” Wiscombe walked off the 18th hole of life on October 31, 2026, after waving and blowing a kiss to the love of his life, his wife, Jude, and the family he adored.

Born June 18, 1939, in Cass City, Michigan, to Sam and Leola Wiscombe, Doc graduated from Pontiac High School and earned his bachelor's degree in Pharmacy from Ferris State College in 1961. After practicing pharmacy in Michigan, he moved to Kansas City to pursue his dream of becoming a physician. He graduated from the University of Kansas City School of Osteopathic Medicine in 1971.

Doc's greatest passions were his family, his medical career, and golf. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and foster father. His greatest joy was a house full of family, especially at birthdays and Christmas. Looking at Jude, he would proudly say, “We did this!” And they certainly did.

Doc loved being a physician. During his 50-year career, he delivered more than 1,000 babies and especially enjoyed obstetrics and pediatrics. He retired in 2020 but often said he missed practicing medicine every day.

He was also an enthusiastic golfer who cherished the friendships, competition, and camaraderie the game brought. When golf was over, there was always a spirited game of gin.

Doc is survived by his loving wife, Jude; sisters, Inez and Lois; children, Paul, Paige, Peggy Bailey, Tipton Dalton, and Tiana; grandchildren, Perry, Reilly, Ian, Isabella, Sophia, and Zach; five great-grandchildren; and many beloved nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his son, Perry, and daughter, Vanessa.

Doc leaves behind a family who adored him, countless patients whose lives he touched, and friendships and memories that will last forever.

In lieu of flowers, Doc would ask that you perform a simple act of kindness in his memory. Help a neighbor, donate to your favorite charity or Operation Wildlife, offer a helping hand, or simply share a smile.

Love your family fiercely, take pride in what you do, enjoy the friendships along the way, never give up a good game, and always make room for kindness.

Well played, Doc. You will be missed more than words can say.

A visitation will be held from 5-7:00 p.m. Monday, November 9, 2026 with a eulogy at 6:00 p.m. at the Porter Funeral Home, Lenexa, Kansas.

Les was a friend for over 40 years...probably played a few hundred rounds of golf with him. when I think of Less I think of someone who would do anything he could to help someone. Over the years he helped everyone of his golf buddies with their various medical problems. Always available to help...all you had to do was ask. He was a good friend to so many and wil be missed by us all. Sincere condolences to Judy and all his family.

Judy and family, I was privileged and honored to work for you and Doc for many years and I love you both and was always treated as a family member. He was a great physician, boss, husband and father and I adored all the time we spent, inside and outside the office. May his memory be a blessing. Love you all.

I had just graduated from KU and was working at a bank in Roeland Park. Doc was one of my first customers. Years later I worked with his daughter until her passing several years ago. It was so great meeting Doc again after all those years. I'm sure Taylor is waiting for her dad with open arms. God bless your family

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Wiscombe and Jude at The Medical Group of Kansas City. He was a wonderful physician. I recall how many of his patients would say how he delivered them and their children. That shows how dedicated he was and how much his patients loved him. I'm thankful that I had the priviledge of knowing him. God bless you Dr. Wiscombe and thank you Jude for sharing him with all of us.

Susann and I knew Les and Jude in the 1970s. I was a second year Resident at CMH when Les rotated thru during his internship.In those days interns and residents were the only physicians in the hospital after 6 pm. The ER was staffed by just 3 of the above. Les was more mature than the average intern and he more than carried his share of what could be a hectic onslaught of sick and injured kids. I recall sharing duties with him New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day 1972. My wife and I spent some off duty events with L and J due to our mutual friendship with Doctor Wasserman (Wass). Les has our admiration and perhaps we will see him on the other side.

We met Judy before Les but Roger performed their wedding and both our families became very close. He took care of our family forever, delivered our youngest daughter and was the finest physician we ever new. We loved him and his entire family and will miss his humor and humanity. You are in our prayers. Love the Colemans
