I was a student of Mr. Kuhn’s at Wilcox Tech, Class of 1981. He was a fantastic teacher and a wonderful person. My condolenses to his family and loved ones. Sincerely, Timothy J. Oneto.
Mr. Kuhn was a wonderful drafting teacher. I learned a great deal from him at Wilcox many years ago. Rest in peace.
To The Family of Mr.Kuhn, you all have my deepest condolences.He was my Drafting Teacher in the early sixties at Wilcox, who instilled a sense of precision,accuracy,neatness and effciency that are still with me today. He conveyed this not only in teachings but as an example of high work ethic with himself. He gave many of his students and myself the solid foundation for a successful career. To this I thank him. May God rest his soul.
As I see so many positive remarks from all over this country it is obvious to see Mr. Kuhn’s influence is still alive, well and far reaching. My condolences to the family. I am blessed to have known him and been taught by him. Bill McMahon Wilcox Tech Class of ’78
