Who is Leo Seal Jr.?

When Leo W. Seal, Jr. passed on in 2008, he left an extraordinary legacy. His six decades of visionary business, economic, civic, and philanthropic leadership continues to sustain the financial services company that he led for almost three-fourths of his remarkable career. He succeeded his father as president of Gulfport-based Hancock Bank in 1963

Likewise, he insisted on a management succession strategy that preserves Hancock as one of America’s strongest banks

“Leo Seal loved his God, his family, his country, his company, and his university. His service preserved our freedom. His mentorship inspired hundreds of young bankers. His benevolence made life easier and better for countless citizens. He funded education for literally hundreds of young Mississippians, most of whom never knew who their benefactor was. He helped assure Hancock’s financial soundness during the most challenging periods and still leads us in upholding that strength and stability. Mississippi has lost a tremendous asset, but his core values live on through the many people whom he touched through the years,” said Hancock Holding Company Chief Executive Officer John M. Hairston, a fellow MSU graduate and Seal mentoree.

During 60 years of economic change, he helped Hancock succeed in growing from a $14 million bank with three branches in two Mississippi counties to a $7 billion financial services leader with 164 locations in four states.”
