Our mighty Captain of bold do-gooding, you implored us to dream bigger, to do better. YOU were our favorite hello and now, our hardest goodbye.
Devoted leader, friend, father, grandfather, ally to all creatures and humanity, your boundless imagination and dazzling generosity filled our cups, our minds, our hearts, even our prairies.
While impossible to quantify the number of people and places you impacted and inspired the world over, a legacy like yours is deep across sectors, spaces, spheres – and species – even a frog and dinosaur named in your honor.
Thank you for being a love song for our planet and setting a new bar to inspire generations of stewards, leaders, and solution seekers.
Perhaps the best way we can honor you is to think of you when we marvel at our beautiful earthly home and consider our place amongst the stars. How are we called to its success and story? How will we continue to make you proud?
Yes, Ted, the future is in nimble hands and humbled hearts. We're going to get busy and heed your calling: “The Power is Ours” to "!
Godspeed.
