Very saddened to hear of Zully's passing. What a wonderful person. Can't ever remember a moment at Kodak where he "lost it". And, Lord! those of us who worked there certainly knew that could sooo easily happen. Zully always had a smile, always saw the bright side. What a wonderful person! What a loss for us.

My deepest sympathy to the Zuehlke family. Harry was always a very pleasant person to be around. He always had a smile. Sorry to hear about his illness & passing. My prayers to his family.
I worked at Kodak, Oak Brook, Illinois for 20 years & was transferred to Kodak Colorado Division in 1998. I just now found out about this website & guest book for Harry.

Linda-
My condolences to you and your family. Though we haven't seen each other since high school (Stagg '78), I've thought of you numerous times. Who knew the stoic German language could be made so silly (nein, ehrlich!). I'm glad to see that you have created a family of your own; may your love for each other help ease the sense of loss.
Best Wishes- Joe'
