I regret to inform the PWI community & fellow UAMCC members of the passing of Ted Watson, owner of Rapid Hot Clean
While some details remain what we do know is that on Sunday or Monday of last week he fell off a roof and was on life support until Thursday. Its unclear if he suffered a stroke or heart attack while on the roof. We do know he was not wearing a harness.
As some of you know a few months back he had fallen off a roof and broke a few ribs. Roof cleaning was his main part of his business.
I used to tell him all the time to stay on the ground and let his helper go up or strap up before going up on a roof. He loved going up there and doing it himself
Ted was probably my best friend in the industry. We spoke several times a week about anything and everything- Politics, worldwide issues, the Sopranos, the Ducks- you name it. His business acumen and work ethic were second to none. It was not uncommon for him to work alone for 14-16 hours a day- everyday if the work was there.
His love for PWI, the UAMCC and this industry was deep. He truly cared about guys in our industry and the progression of our industry.
He staunchly supported the causes to make our industry better
I will miss you Ted- RIP my friend
