Simply CremationTheodore Johnson
Dr. Theodore Thomas Johnson, Jr., died April 1, 2015 in Goodyear, AZ. He was born on April 26 in Milwaukee, WI, to the late Theodore and Alfreda Johnson. Ted earned his PhD in Higher Education Administration from Fordham University, New York. After beginning his career in Human Resources, Ted moved to Houston Texas, which prepared him for leadership and executive positions in higher education. In 1983, Ted joined New Jersey Institute of Technology, where he retired in 2013. His thirty-year tenure in New Jersey was a culmination of creating a legacy of future Science, Technology, Engineer and Math leaders in their professions. Ted is survived by his wife of 25 years, Lois Martin Johnson; his brother, Ronald Johnson; nephew Aaron Johnson (Gretchen) and their children; his cousins Anderson Johnson and Dorothy Johnson and her daughter. He leaves his in-laws, Grover and Pearlene Martin, Sr., Grover Martin, Jr., and a host of loved ones, extended family and friends. He is preceded in death by his parents. A celebration of life will be held at 11am on April 11th at Thompson Funeral Chapel, 926 S. Litchfield Rd, Goodyear, AZ, and at 1pm on April 17th at the NJIT atrium in Newark, NJ.

My heart is saddened learning of Lois husband’s Ted passing in 2015. I would appreciate so much to contact her. We worked together for the State of Texas. She as an intern during the 1980’s. I hadn’t heard from her since December 1991; when she and Ted relocated to Newark, NJ. Lois, our address is still the same. Hopefully, someone will see this and inform you. Prayers and Love!
