He was graduated from Marquette University High School in 1946 and received a PhB degree from Marquette University in 1950.

He is survived by his wife and three children, James Kuehn and wife, Donna of Warfordsburg, PA, Karen Smale and husband, Alan of Gambrills, MD and Karl Kuehn of Clearfield, UT. He is also survived by three grandchildren. Tom was preceded in death by a son, John Kuehn.

Tom enjoyed his family, his various work activities, plus photography, fishing, sailing, classical music and astronomy.

I enjoyed Tom's friendship immensely. We shared many stories on our mutual interest is safety engineering and human foibles. I benefited greatly from his advice and counsel on the history and friends within Sunrise Mountain Ridge. He was generous to all, and we miss him.
