Obituary
Send FlowersAvatar of Sportsmanship
Scores of lacrosse players, old and young, came to David R. Leistman's memorial Mass in Garden City, on Long Island, on Sept. 22. Many were in their early 40's. They had played with Mr. Leistman in high school and at Adelphi University, where he was an all- American midfielder who helped the team win national championships in 1979 and 1981.
Many others, both boys and girls, were teenagers and younger. Mr. Leistman, 43, had coached them over the last 10 years in Garden City.
"More than skills, he taught love of the game and the values of competition, team work and sportsmanship," said Dennis Barry, the director of the Garden City Rams Lacrosse program. "Winning was not the only thing."
Besides achieving stardom at Adelphi, Mr. Leistman, a bond trader and partner at Cantor Fitzgerald, met his wife, Maryclair, there. They married in 1983 and had two children, Brian, 13, and Katie, 12.

I remember Dave as we played together as little kids. We grew up around the corner from each other. We will miss him always.

I remember the great times we had playing LAX at Adelphi with Dave. He was a great player and a tremendous asset to the 1979 Championship team.
God Bess you Dave. We also lost Ron Klepher (a Panther lax bro & NYPD) that day too...

To a best friend and brother.
As the years passed and our lives evolved, we may have seen each other less, but in the back of my mind, you were always still "there." It pains me to think that you are gone. I can honestly say that I think of you everyday. I miss you bro and I will always love ya.
