Dear Pat, Todd and family I was most upset to hear of Teds passing, and have spent much time thinking of him since I heard. He was a truly inspiring man to all who came in contact with him. When we first moved to Lewiston/Auburn he was extremely kind and welcoming to my family and I. As I settled into my role at Falcon, the realization grew that I was in the presence of a great man. Not great because of some idealistic personal goal, but great because of his dedication to the enrichment of the lives of those around him, and in particular his enlightened views on employee welfare. In a time when working men & women were being continuously devalued, Ted bought dignity, security, quality of life and a sense of family to all of his employees – including me. On his retirement, I took his position at the head of the company, but in reality I was lost in his shadow and continued to rely on the powerful identity that he had forged, and the loyalty of the employees to both him and the company. I left Falcon many years ago, but if you go in there today I believe that Teds legacy is still as strong, and it continues to be largely run by people that he trained, who still ask themselves “what would Ted do” each and every day. I now run a different business, with 100 employees, and work hard to improve their lives, just as he showed me, because I remain and will always be a disciple of Ted Johanson. This is his legacy, and long may it continue to spread for it will make a better world. My thoughts are with you all. Unfortunately, I will be in England on June 20th but will be there in spirit Nick
