The late Morris and Sophie Metz Leavitt welcomed him into the world on November 25, 1930, and he went to Springfield schools, where he completed his education at Classical High School. Aaron completed his medical degree at Chicago Medical School after graduating from high school. Later in life, he graduated from Western New England College with a law degree.
