IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Obituary
Saratoga Springs, NY - Richard Joseph Steigerwald, 75, of Saratoga Springs passed away in his hometown on February 11, 2016.
Born on June 18, 1940 to the late Joseph and Helen Steigerwald, Richard was the second of four siblings, and the eldest son. He graduated from Saratoga Springs High School in 1958.
For over 25 years Richard managed six Mobil gas stations in Saratoga along with Steigerwald's Towing Service, and was a strong representative of the gasoline retail industry in this region. Ever devoted to the Saratoga community, he sponsored many local civic organizations through his businesses. He later worked for many years for Saratoga County at Maplewood Manor, Prestwick Chase, and most recently at Skidmore College as a Building Supervisor/Sports Center Monitor.
Richard loved automobiles and especially enjoyed detailing cars and attending car races and shows. Boating and snowmobiling were two of his other favorite pastimes, and listening to country music was a constant throughout his life. A true "people person," he was always making friends and striking up conversations with individuals from all walks of life. Richard derived his greatest happiness from his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild.
He is survived by his wife, Anita (Stockwicz); their daughter, Tiffany (Simon) Batifort; and grandchildren Céleste and Augustin Batifort, as well as his former wife, Lynne (Mitchell); their children, Stacie Sabino, Laurie Cusumano, and Nile (Annemarie) Steigerwald; grandchildren Maja Sabino, Brianna and Joseph Cusumano, and Connor, Brendan, and Grace Steigerwald; and great-granddaughter Sierra Santos. He is also survived by his sister, Shirley Simpson, and his brother, John Steigerwald. He is predeceased by his son, Scott Steigerwald, and his brother, E. Thomas Steigerwald.
Relatives and friends are invited to call from 2-5pm, Monday, February 15, at the William J. Burke & Sons Funeral Home, 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs (584-5373).
Donations may be made to the Saratoga County Veterans Trust Fund (152 West High Street Suite 201, Ballston Spa, NY 12020) or a charity of your choice.
