Leo Marcoux ’56, ’64 ScM

Leo Marcoux ’56, ’64 ScM, of Lincoln, R.I.; May 23, of Alzheimer’s. He was a mechanical engineer at Texas Instruments (then Metals & Controls), in Attleboro, Mass. Throughout his career, he specialized in automotive temperature controls and some of his many patents for the firm are used in applications today. His work frequently took him to other locales such as Detroit, Sydney, Beijing, and Johnson City, Tenn. Early retirement afforded him and his partner the opportunity to boat, hike, camp, and attend music festivals. Throughout his travels, he was known for his ability to repair almost any broken appliance or device. As a true Rhode Islander, he enjoyed sailing in Narragansett Bay, rooting for the PawSox, and slurping up littlenecks on the half shell. He is survived by three daughters including Paula Marcoux ’82 and two grandchildren.
