As with Deni P I went to PSC w Kurt. We were in the same group of friends and hung with the Upsilon Phi guys ! I believe I met you at the Hotel Saranac many years ago. I was there w another alum Peter Dorn and we talked awhile in the bar. I am so so sorry to hear of his passing. We all certainly had a great time at Smitties and I am very sad to hear of this. Sympathies and prayers to all of you. Chris White
I just got my periodic magazine from Paul Smiths College and was extremely saddened to read that Kurt had pass on.
I was one of his classmates at Paul Smith College and remember him well. Our class had some very interesting alumni, many of whom have dome extremely well, it was rather a unique class, very serious and focused on the industry knowing all of the potential and various directions that the industry could take us. I did very well and I have many memories.
Aside from Paul Smiths College, Kurt and I had a mutual friend, Bob Dietz.
A long time resident of Washington, DC as a very successful hotel marketing and sales executive, initially with Stouffers.
When ever we were together, he and always spoke of Kurt and Bob always spoke very well of his old friend. All our friendships go back to beginning in the late 60's for me and then more so from the early 70's with Bob.
Bob retired to San Diego and opened a very successful photo and film developing shop for small movie studios in California. He is no longer with us but I am sure that he kept in touch with Kurt.
I hate loosing my friends, alumni, business associates, neighbors, mentors. It is something that regularly saddens me more than I ever would have known about myself. I guess that is the price we pay for love.
My sincere condolences, . . . albeit late, I wish to express to his family and all of his friends, alumni, associates who knew and now miss him.

Many memories of Kurt. For all of us the fondest memory will always be during one of our golfing vacations to Michigan while playing ping pong and the famous disappearing act that Kurt performed. While not being a magician, he took a famous swipe at a ping pong ball and then suddenly disappeared from view. We did not know at the time that he had done shoulder damage as he hit the floor but we were all laughing so hard that we totally missed the unfortunate outcome.
This memory and the countless thousands of airline bottles of liquor he had in his possession. We could always count on Kurt while playing golf to provide us with unlimited quantities.
One last memory is the famous "airline" party he and Anna had one night at their house in White Bluff with the airline chairs set up in the garage for us all to enjoy.

You can definitely say he was an unique individual. From the first time we meet Kurt and Anna at White Bluff Resort on Lake Whitney, it was a friendship we’ll always remember and cherish.
The many rounds of golf together, the parties especially when we went to their house and they were the Captain and Stewardess who served us all on airplane plates while sitting in airplane seats. What a wonderful and special time we had!! That was a lot of planning and effort to make it a wonderful memory!
Another was our WB golf group’s trip to Harbor Springs, Michigan. We were in the basement playing ping pong after a day of playing golf and adult beverages. We were playing doubles and I believe I was on the other team. Kurt went to slam the ping pong ball, hit it, and disappeared under the table. We all couldn’t help but die laughing so hard, it was one of those hilarious moments. Unfortunately at Kurt’s expense because he broke or dislocated his shoulder that night. It was memorable, funny experience that none of us will ever forget. ONLY KURT!!!
Finally to show the true friendship, Kurt and Anna were to us, was when they invited us to New York City to watch the Yankees. I’ve always been a Yankee fan and Kurt knew that. We originally told them we couldn’t because of the expense to stay in NYC. He called back and had arranged for all of us to stay at his sister Kris’s 9th floor penthouse while Kris went to the Jersey Shore house. We saw so many sights in NYC, the Yankees, experienced the subway, ate at Tavern on the Greens, strolled Central Park, and cruised Upper New York Bay n a ferry all because of Kurt and Anna’s generosity to us. What a fabulous weekend for two Midwesterners to see NYC for the first and only time.
God BLESS you Kurt Mullick. You are a true friend and we’ll never forget you!!
Love,
Michael & Paulette
Dear Anna,
Kurt and I were in the same homeroom for six years, we literally grew up together. He was the only boy we knew driving a JAG and he fulfilled his lifelong passion for all things mechanical. You and Kurt were always such a happy addition to our gatherings. It was obvious to all how much he loved you, how happy you were together and you were so generous to patiently share your days with his many Pelham friends. My deepest condolences, Kurt will certainly be missed. Betsy Cooney Kemble
As my wife Angela and I sing and dance for our son Vincent this morning, it has me thinking about the time Kurt and Anna jamming out to The Beach Boys while taking the Wibbenmeyer family on a boat ride. Every Christmas when we visited Kurt and Anna in Florida, it was natural to see them dance and sing to Santa Baby.
I will never forget Kurt’s famous phrases, such as, “you weirdo!” and others that would always make me laugh and put a smile on my face. Kurt was fun loving and a kid at heart. He always reminded me to not take life so seriously because it’s too short. Kurt’s laugh and sense of humor will never be forgotten.
R.I.P Captain Skippy!!
With Great Love, Paul, Angela, Vincent and Scooby Doo
Oohhhh Skippy! What can I say? Never a dull moment! ❤️ !
RIP.
Since the year 2002, our family was blessed with several family vacations to visit family in Florida. We were fortunate to spend a portion of these vacations with Kurt and Anna in Punta Gorda! Kurt and Anna were always such gracious and generous hosts with meals, drinks and wonderful boat rides! Kurt would always have a funny story to tell and a robust laugh no matter whether we were swimming in the pool, preparing a meal or dining in a restaurant! But the place he seemed to enjoy the most was at the helm of his yacht with his loving and beautiful first-mate Anna by his side!
We remember two of these boat rides the best. One was a trip through the local canals in Punta Gorda to see the beautiful Christmas lights and wishing a Merry Christmas to many of Kurt and Anna's neighbors! We remember these relaxing boat rides, the festive atmosphere and the warm night temperatures!
The other boat ride we remember the best was to an island to have lunch at a restaurant built by a rock-star! We don't remember the name of the island, or the name of the restaurant of the name of the rock-star or what we had for lunch! But we do remember the fun journey to and from the island with Kurt at the helm of his yacht! We remember the warm temperatures, the sunshine, and joy on Kurt's face! We are certain that Kurt spent many times the total cost of our lunch just for yacht gasoline to make this trip! But this was the type of generous guy that Kurt was!
We will definitely miss Captain Skippy!!!
Love, Brad & Carol and all of our children (John, David, Paul and Mary)
