Richard Steinman

this man was an insperation to us all, he was always cheerful and trustworthy. he was fun in the 1970
years. may god find a special place
in heaven for you god bless

I have so many wonderful memories of time spent with Richard. He was always there for me during campaigns(driving door to door)and letting me create a little garden in Whitefield for his 75th birthday bash. His generosity was boundless.I will miss him.

I met Richard at an early MLGPA meeting in Augusta 1986. I feel honored to have known him and consider him a role model in my life as an out and proud Gay man. He had a way of always making me feel Special and important whenever our paths would cross. I could feel his genuine love and affection, care and concern. I am proud to have known him and am pleased that he was able to witness the passage of the Equal rights amandment in Maine !

I remember Richard from times spent in Whitefield, ME. He was a good friend of my father's, Rev. Philip Poland, and we used to enjoy swimming in the dam in Whitefield. He was a brilliant, sweet and compassionate man. He will be sorely missed. (Thank you for the carvings, Richard.)

May Richard continue a journey as beautifull as the one he lived here on earth. Thank you.

Dr. Richard Steinman

Such a good man - so often a mentor and visionary. I will miss knowing you are on the planet dear friend.

I did not know you in life, although I walk in a society that is much more accepting and at times welcoming, because of your work and deeds. I thank you for all of your work and know that your legacy is that the word equality is a word now known to the majority of Maine citizens.
Thank you and may you rest in peace

Medea, India and Jethro, Do you remember being on your way to Canada and Richard's car breaking down? You all - I think 4 kids in all - came into my tiny volkswagen with me and my kitten Sitaram and we went off for a hilarious weekend! Your father has been a long time friend and colleague since the 60's and I saw him about 3 years ago at my home in Maine and got caught up on all of you. My heart goes out to you and I know that Richard is having a joyous time in his new space! Much love to...
