Moving to Oregon at the age of 7, he attended Palisades Elementary School, Oregon Episcopal School, Lincoln High School and then graduated from the University of Puget Sound. Ted and Joan married in 1997 and embarked on a life of adventure. Ted had two favorite jobs – guiding float trips down the middle fork of the Salmon River and, more recently, helping homeowners and craftsman create designs for custom woodwork at McCoy Millwork in Portland.
He had three loves in his life: his wife Joan, his black lab Jake, and his 90-pound collie-mix Baron. A day didn’t end when he hadn’t kissed his wife, walked his dogs and given all three of them foot rubs, back scratches and an ear massage.
He is survived by his wife, Joan; mother, Ellen Kate Hall duPont; brother, John Hall; sister-in-law, Julia Hall; nephew, Carson Hall; and niece, Courtney Hall.

Donations in Ted’s memory may be made to the Oregon Humane Society. Senior Family Preferred Member Martin C. Johnson died Feb. 18 sur- rounded by his loving family. He was 78. He was born Nov. 16, 1933, in Santa Fe, N.M. and attended Stanford University for both his undergraduate studies and medi- cal school training, followed by a fellow- ship in neurosurgery at the University of Cincinnati in 1968.
Martin practiced adult and pediatric neurosurgery in Portland for 40 years. He served 20 years in the military reserves, having actively served in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War and ultimately retiring as a colonel in the U.S. Army.
Martin possessed an enormous zest for life and was passionate in his devotion to his country and family. He was a private pilot and completed many cross-country flights with his wife, Priscilla. He was an author, voracious reader and military historian. He was happiest outdoors spending time with his family and his beloved German shep- herds – often with the rallying cry: “Fish on!” He often commented that his proudest achievement was his family.
He followed many of his patients for decades from infancy to adulthood with uncompromising dedication and compas- sion. Martin will be greatly missed and his loved ones will forever expect him: “Back after rounds…”
He is survived by Priscilla; his four chil- dren, Marty, Kurt, Kirsten and Kate, and their extended families.
Memorial donations may be made to The Oregon Humane Society and McCurdy Mission School in Espanola, N.M.

He was a generous and loving person, full of humor and fun. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and environmentalist. He founded a Wildfowl Refuge on his property at Woodson, cleaned it up and replanted the area for all bird life.
University, he began a two-year trip around the world, sewing his own pack. He stayed in Fiji with natives who taught him scuba diving and snorkeling. Then he traveled to Australia, a long-held dream, where he worked in construction, cleaning up after hurricanes, gold mining and driving across the Nulibar Plain. He made his way to South America, where he had a fantastic time at the Galapagos Islands, Machu Picchu, and across Argentina to Rio, Mexico and home.
