Thinking of you, Ted... those glorious years at International House, where you demonstrated your wicked sense of humor (and don't worry - they never did figure out who created & posted those hilarious "tasteless tabloids"). And then there were our countless get-togethers in the Village - so many joyous good times. I miss your kindness, gentleness, your gentlemanliness - you were one in a million. Rest in eternal peace, dear friend.

I remember Ted exactly as you describe him -- as a gentle man who was generous, kind and witty.

A shocking and profound loss. Ted was extraordinarily kind and generous to me. I am so sorry we will no longer see that wonderful smiling boyish face AND those seersucker suits. Deepest sympathies to Michael.

Very sorry to hear of Ted's death. We were law school classmates, and I remember him as gentlemanly, archly humorous, scholarly and universally well-liked. We will always remember you, Steadman! Rest in peace.

Ted was a law school classmate and good friend. We had many good times and laughs that I will not forget.

Very sad news -- I am law school classmate of Ted's too. We shared many a beer at CDR and the West End, back in the day ... he will be missed.

Shocked and saddened to hear of Ted's passing. I've known Ted for over 20 years and consider him a true friend. He was such a good guy. Kind, generous and funny. My deepest sympathies to Michael and rest of his family.

I have known Ted since law school. More importantly, years ago Ted introduced me to a young woman named Cathy who is now my wife of 27 years. Cathy and I send our deepest sympathy to all those who loved him.

Prayers to Ted's family and local friends. Ted was a law school classmate of mine, and when I saw him at informal class reunions in more recent years he looked ageless, with the same winning smile and personality as ever. Rest in peace, Ted.

A gentleman and a scholar. Always showed my family and me great kindness. Knew him 35 years. Will miss him.

A wonderful model of kindness and generosity. Ted's service to so many will be a great absence.

No one could pull off the seersucker suit like Ted. So very sorry for the loss and love to Michael.
