Note: The birth year on the plaque is incorrect. He was born in 1919. The tornado which struck the cemetery in October 2019 dislodged the plaque. It had disappeared by 2022. Restland will see what they can do to replace it.

Henry Thomas Steely Sr., age 94, was the son of Charles Richard Steely, Sr. and Mary Tom Bingham Steely.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, four siblings, and four half-siblings. He is survived by a son, daughter-in-law, grandson, great-granddaughter, and a sister.

Tom Steely loved his family, his friends, his church and his garden. As a devoted Methodist, he was most proud of being a member of his church and was the teacher of "The Tom Steely Sunday School Class" for 51 years.

During WWII, he served as an assistant chaplain in the Army Air Corp at Wendover, Utah, under Col. Tibbets.

Tom was Vice-President, in charge of the lobby and tellers, of the First National Bank in downtown Dallas for 48 years. As such, he was the "personal banker" for not only some of the most powerful and wealthiest businessmen in Texas and the Southwest, but also for any individual who just needed someone to trust.

Services held Oct 18, 2013, 10:00 AM at the First Methodist Church in Garland. Interment followed at Restland Memorial Park.
