I knew Zoran at Grant Jr High and at Henninger; I enjoyed hanging out with him and he was always very bright and fun to be around. We ran track together at Grant, always looked forward to seeing him at the class reunions. My best to his family.

Zoran was a member of the credit union I worked at several years ago. He was always fun to chat with and had great stories to tell. My sincere condolences to his family and friends I know he will be greatly missed.
Condolences to the family. Zoran was always so smart and though we went our separate ways, I've always thought of him with kindness and affection. German.
I was a college friend of Zoran. We traveled to Europe in the summer of 1973. I am deeply saddened by his passing. We have lost touch for a very long time.
Zoran was a bigger than life figure who loved to learn, have fun and truly enjoyed life.
My deepest condolences to the Dudevski family.

My condolences to Zoran's wife Gordana, his children, his sister, Zoran's mother and the extended Dudevsky and Yankulovich families on his passing -- I too knew Zorba (as we called him) well from Clarkson, and spent much time with him and Jim Henschel at college -- We all wanted to be EE's at the time --
I came to Syracuse this weekend with the intent of meeting up with a host of Clarkson & TKE-IK friends, Zorba being one of them -- Jim and I tracked down Zorba and were planning on seeing him for the first time in 40 years -- Zorba was on the top of our list -- If there was only one person we could see on this trip, it was going to be Zorba -- I'm so disappointed that I will not get to spend time and talk to him again in person --
I remember Zorba as a sharp mind, intelligent, always joking, and just being an enjoyable person to talk to who loved to have a party with good friends around -- I remember that he loved philosophical conversations (religion, politics, etc...) and always had an opinion to share -- Most times an intelligent conversation and sometimes just a chain-pulling contest to see if he could get you out of your comfort zone and irritate you ... all in good fun of course --
When I talked to him via phone 3-4 weeks ago, he was overjoyed (it showed in his voice) that we would work at finding him and ask him to get together and have dinner with us after 40 years -- There was an excitement in his speech when we talked, one that I have only experienced with very close friends --
He was adamant that Jim and I could not come to the area without spending an evening at his home, meet his Family, and have a dinner of his Mother's home cooking -- He said that his Mom's home cooking was an experience that he had to share with us, and we were planning on visiting Zorba, Mom, Gordana and the kids this week --
We talked for 30-40 minutes, about his family, his kids, my family, some of what we did in College, what we had been doing for 40 years .... and we laughed, laughed, and laughed some more -- It was obvious from the conversation that Zorba was a good Family man, and loved his family dearly -- I'm very happy to have had the chance to talk to him again before is passing --
Again, my condolences to Zorba's family --
We will be by to pay our respects, and to see our friend for one last time --
The world is not a better place without men like Zorba in it --
I'm going to miss his presence on this earth -- Rest in Peace my friend --
