There´s never been or ever will be another Ted Kabat. He was a good friend to everyone in Agriculture that he was associated with. He was a joy to work with in Sales of Cyanamid and BASF. I always enjoyed his support in my territory in the Texas Panhandle. He always left a positive and "connected" impression on my customers.
GODS SPEED TED! We Love Ya Man!
