David Leftwich passed away in New Orleans, Louisiana. The obituary was featured in The Times-Picayune on April 4, 2007.
I went to grammar school with Robert at St Rita's on Lowerline Street. The old gang at St Rita's is thinning out. They will be missed. I will try to attend the Memorial at St. Ben's Saturday.

I first met Lefty in the summer of 1958 when he was a counselor at Cabrini Day camp. That was the fall of that year that I went to St Ben's as a second year special. More recently I enjoyed visiting with him the last time he was at the Abbey. He really was a great person to know and I will always remeber his big smile. My condolences to his family.

Sorry to do this so impersonally. I was in the seminary with David. I remember him as a very intellectual, funny young man. Our class will certainly miss seeing him, although infrequently. Rest in peace, good Father David.

I was two years his junior and remember looking up to him as a model. I have fond memories of those years.
