Author Topic: RIP John Pytlak (was titled "John Pytlak recovering well from a mild heart attack") Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 05-24-2007 04:55 PM                        Caption for the bottom photo: 'That is Kodak film you've got in there, I hope!' Great to see that you've already got Ben in training for his Oscar acceptance speech.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

If you can argue cyan track benefits with me, you certainly can kick the crap out of this. Please hang in there. Steve  |  IP: Logged Ben Wales Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 602 From: Southampton.

If not for you, my knowledge of film would only be fledgling  |  IP: Logged Richard Thomas Film Handler Posts: 11 From: Trinidad, CO Registered: Aug 2003 posted 05-26-2007 11:22 AM                     To John Pytlak the Man sent from our beloved Kodak! Sadly we all sooner or later must vanish. Life is ever uncertain, like a drop of morning dew on a Lotus leaf. In film 'The End' is always with us. Every film must have an End. When we buy our ticket we do not think about the End it seems; only the exciting and perhaps interesting illusion that we are about to see. Wonderful this anticipation; life is so like the movies. When the illusion is done right, at The End we cry and exclaim "Wow that was a Great one" When the curtain does finally fall, we leave the theatre with such appreciation for the experience. That there was an End does not matter at all; it has now become us. Just an illusion of Ending it seems - turn and see that this is just a trick of Light from the Booth after all. The experience was the thing and if it was a Great, filled with Quality then we must Cheer. So perhaps soon it is on to a New Adventure for our best friend. God knows how much we will all miss you John. Our sadness is in that we will not see you again for a while. That special Film can never be shown here again; it is a part of us all now. So if you must - On you go then, back to the Booth and back into the Light - till' me meet again. My Cheers, thanks and most sincere Applause go to you John my kind and humble friend. Richard L.

My family and I are touched by your plight and thinking of you and your family. Something you said years ago I am reminded of often when I do a ramp tramp at the drive-in; I hope I don't come face to face with a rat! That and of course contrast killers!

My Kodak supervisor, Mentor and FRIEND!, Dianne and I are thinking of you every day. We are sticking to the "miracles do and WILL happen" theory mentioned above. You've got ALL of our prayers now! Mark & Dianne PS.... Ben is a DOLL! You should be very proud of him.  |  IP: Logged Michael Harlow Expert Film Handler Posts: 170 From: Faversham, Kent, UK Registered: Jul 2002 posted 05-26-2007 02:21 PM                     So sorry to hear this news, Having had an email chat with John, he is the Kodak god and he is with us in our thoughts.
