Ted Szabo

I had the opportunity to interview Ted about his experiences during WW2. He was one of the very few to escape a concentration camp. He knew he would die from lack of food and work conditions. Ted waited for a lightning storm to knock out the electricty so he could go through the electric barbed wires. Sorry to hear this. Ted was a very nice man.

Dear Dr Szabo,

I was very sad to learn of your dad's passing and I'm so sorry for your loss! Sounds like he was a wonderful man and I see that the apple did not fall far from the tree. I pray that you find sweet comfort in the loving memories that you both shared. Wishing God's peace and strength to you and your family during this difficult time.

I'm so sorry to read about your loss of Mr. Szabo I know he will be missed deeply. God's word brings me comfort during times of great sorrow, may it do the same for you.

Dear Renee and family...we are so sorry for your loss...Nancy and Tony D'onofrio

Renee,
Ted’s passing is sorrowful news. We became close friends in Charleston and remained buddies for all of our Carbide time. We laughed and argued; we agreed and disagreed, we were happy and sometimes angry. No matter what, we always sought each other out until we left Union Carbide. Ted was an important part of my life and I am grateful for that.
I hope all is well with you. When I get to Westport I always remember visiting your house there and the laughter.

Dear Steve,
My prayers are with you, your mother and the rest of the family at this difficult time. Your father sounds like an incredible man. I will make a donation to the US Holocaust Museum in his memory. I am always amazed at those individuals who were able to survive the death camps, and go on to great accomplishments - both professionally and personally.

Dr. Szabo and Family,

Patrick and I were so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Our thoughts and prayers were with you as you faced your 1st Father's Day without him. What a special man he must have been and we agree with Ereka - you are definitely following in his footsteps. We are praying that God will be your strength and comfort in the days ahead.
