George Theodore "Ted" Finnegan

Ted remains an important, honored and cherished family friend who continues to influence our children as we often recall his integrity, his leadership and extraordinary qualities. His impressive accomplishments and his gentle manner are stellar example of how to live well. Thanks to ted, our family was given the gift of an extraordinary mentor. He dwells among us and we remain grateful for his friendship always.

Thanks for the reminder and for the memories. He was such a nice, caring man.

Ted was the greatest mentor of young lawyers at Ropes and Gray. His trial practice training course was brilliant, a true Bible for those learning to be trial lawyers, and after he retired he continued to further develop the program and to continue to train and mentor further new generations of lawyers. Plus he was just a charming and kind human being. He is missed.

On this memorial day weekend 2014 I thank you for your service to our country. You, kind Sir, were on the Cassin Young with my father and were one of the many responsible for his coming home. Thank you.

The World has lost a dear friend, grandpa, father, brother, uncle, all embodied in this wonderful person, Ted. I have known him for more than two decades. Ted has always been kind and helpful to others, cheerful and encouraging, and devoted to loved ones. I will miss his hearty laughter, wonderful stories, funny jokes but most of all his wholehearted goodness as a person. Thank you, Ted, for all the wonderful memories you have left. We will miss you.

To the Finnegan Family,
I am truly saddened to hear about your dad. Ted was a great guy and a good friend to all of us. A gentleman to the core.....and a pretty good organist. I hope to attend his service on Feb 4th.
My Condolences,

Mr. Finneran,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USN during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Ted was an extraordinary lawyer and person at Ropes & Gray. He was one of the best mentors that this firm ever had. Both before he retired, and afterwards, he worked tirelessly on our Trial Workshop materials, which are simply the best anywhere. I still use them for myself, and to train junior associates, and so the good works that he put into effect continue to "pay it forward..'' God bless him, and my condolences to his family. -- Dave Mandel, Ropes & Gray.
