David Bleicher Obituary
David Bleicher, age 71, shed his mortal coil on Friday, April 28, 2023, due to medical complications after a surgery. Born in Los Angeles, his family moved to Brooklyn when he was 16, just shy of getting his California drivers' license. He was disappointed New York didn't grant drivers licenses until age 18. As a teen he grew his amazing mustache, a facial feature for his entire adult life.
When he was a teenager, he thought he'd become a rabbi, but that didn't happen. Yet, as a cartoonist and graphic designer, he illustrated many children's books for the publisher Torah Aura.
He did graphic designing for the Yellow Pages, Scholastic, and as a freelancer in New York. He could tell with a glance if a line of text was one pica off. He had wonderful handwriting.
He moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1990. With his former boss Roe Libretto, who moved west at his invitation, they founded NoBul Graphics.
After the business wasn't fun anymore, they closed the company, and he went back to school to become a teacher. At Rio Grande High School, he taught English, film, and journalism. In 2010, he became a National Board Certified Teacher.
He is survived by his wife, Gail Rubin; his mother, Myra Ross and her husband, Alvin; his brother, Steven Bleicher; an extended family including brother-in-law, Mitch Rubin; and many heartbroken friends. He is predeceased by his father, Norman Bleicher.
Thank you to the dedicated staff at Presbyterian Hospital for saving his life, and the caring staff at Kaseman Hospice for helping him gracefully exit. In lieu of flowers, please support the Talking Talons education and youth leadership program.
A Service will be held Wednesday, May 3, 2023, 10:30 a.m., at Congregation Albert, 3800 Louisiana Blvd. NE. Interment will follow in the Congregation Albert section at Fairview Memorial Park. Please visit our online guestbook for David at
