J. Richard Steadman

I was a struggling post college and semi professional soccer player making custom jewelry on Maui when my ACL went. I managed to talk my way into Dr. Steadman´s Tahoe clinic for repair. Of course, he was generous enough to let me pay my portion in an emerald and sapphire necklace for his wife.
Two years later, his Vail office did my other knee. I was not only doing well enough to pay my share but asked my now (still) wife to marry me on the slopes of Vail the night before my surgery.
36 years later, I am still playing soccer, thanks to Dr. Steadman´s Steller work.

Ruth Best sends her deepest condolences to the Steadman family. Dick was the best human being I've ever met. A true friend. My thoughts are with Gay in her time of sorrow. He will be missed.

I was a patient of Dr Steadman and considered a good friend. Dr Steadman was the best. His kind manner and pioneering ideas and skill was special. The Vail clinic will be a testimony to him. I will never forget him. God will have a special place for him. Aloha Doctor. Robert Scurich
