Richard Steadman Obituary
Richard Steadman, our beloved son, brother, uncle, nephew and great-uncle has left this earth on September 29, 2014 and we will miss him each and every day.
Richard was born on April 21, 1948 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Harold and Jean Steadman. Richard is survived by his father, his sister and brother in law, Nancy and Harold Rodgers, his brother Dr. Sid Steadman; nephews Dr. Michael Steadman, Austin Rodgers, Christopher Rodgers, Travis Rodgers, Jonathan Steadman, Trey Stallings, Caesar Ortiz; nieces Anne Stallings, Amie Ortiz and Katie Steadman; and his dear aunt, Mary Ann LaCour.
Richard graduated from Harvard University in 1971 and spent a number of years in the publishing and advertising business in New York. He returned to Texas in 1980 and went to work for AT&T and spent 33 years as a senior manager.
In lieu of flowers, Richard would like for donations be made to the donor's charitable organization of choice. A memorial service to celebrate Richard's life will be held on Friday, October 3 at Trietsch Memorial United Methodist Church in Flower Mound, Texas. Rev. Joe Shafer will be officiating.

Richard, a one of a kind gentlemen who will always be remembered as one of the great ones. He was my mentor and a close friend to my father, Amin Ali. I wouldn't be in law school if it wasn't for his strong words of wisdom, pushing me to better my self, and mostly taking the time to help me and my family out whenever he could. We love you and will miss you dearly.
