Theodore A. "Ted" Livingston

So saddened by the news, of late, that Ted is gone. Got the class newsletter today from Marylin Smith Kieffaber. Ted and I met on the football field during double days, August 1965. He was out for quarterback and I was trying out for defensive end. He was one of the toughest players on the field. As the school year got underway, I formed a band called the January Ward Tribunal (JWT's). Ted was our first lead singer. He reminded me so much of Jim Morrison of the Doors. He had longer...

Just four years late but we spent some special times together in the 70s ! Impossible to think of Ted w/o a smile . Never take a friendship for granted .

Ted and Susan were part of my Chicago "family". I met them in the first months of moving there and enjoyed all types of fun and serious events as well. I thought about the time when I got an evening call from them to ask me to babysit for their two children while they rushed the baby to the ER. He gave me that serious look of his and then laughed and said I would be the most expensive babysitter ever. His memory will remain and I will miss him . A multifaceted person who wasn't afraid...

Susan, I was shocked to just now learn of Ted's passing in the KU Law newsletter. You and Ted were such good friends to Bev and I in Lawrence. He was my best friend in law school. I always marveled at his intellect but was even more impressed by how irreverent and funny he was. We had some great times together. My only regret was not seeing him over these way too long years. My loss. Take care.

Dear Susan and family - I am so sorry for your loss. We haven't connected in so many years, but I still treasure the memory of my visits with you when Ted attended law school in Lawrence. They broke the mold, that's for sure.

Ted was my "boss" for many years but he only ever treated me as a colleague and a friend. He cared so incredibly much about the well-being of those of us who worked with him. I'll miss him. My deepest condolences to the Livingston family.

I was extremely saddened and dismayed when I learned of Ted's passing. I worked with Ted as an associate at Mayer Brown from 1982 through 1987. I occasionally ran into Ted and talked to him after I left. He undoubtedly was a brilliant and masterful lawyer. That is not what I admired most about Ted, however. I was more impressed with his modesty, passion and zest for life. We talked most about his children and how proud he was of them and his athletic pursuits. First, it was his running and...
