I just ran across this post of the passing of Mr. Kuhn. I was a student of his at Martin Road school and have many fond memories of him. I met him once again just before they tore down the school and had a picture taken of us together. May He Rest In Heavenly Peace.

What an awesome man and ideal teacher. He was one of the most humble people I have ever met - the epidomy of gentleness and love for his students - we need more teachers as dedicated and selfless as Mr. Kuhn. You were a blessing to the HPHS student body. There is a special place in Heaven for men like you. Thanks for the memories!! Class of 1966.

I was a student of Mr. Kuhn. Many have heard about the student in the wheelchair who walked up to his desk for a pencil on his hands, or "upside down" as I've heard he said it. Well that was me. Rest in Peace Mr. Kuhn

I never had Mr. Kuhn as a teacher but everyone at Hazel Park High School knew him. It would be fair to say that so did everyone in the city. He was a dedicated teacher, a true mentor to students, a generous man with his time and money and a friend to many. I believe he was my mother's driving instructor and encouraged her everyday. Rest well, Mr. Kuhn. Your life touched so many of us and we are better people because of you.

He really was one of those teachers that was born to teach. I don't think there is a student from HPHS (whether they had him as a teacher or not) that didn't know who Mr. Kuhn was. He left a lasting impression on all of us for many different reasons.
