Not sure what to say?

Mr. Kahn was my coach at Paul Revere Junior High School. I was a bit of a runt but I worked really hard at sports and even though I was small Mr. Kahn saw something in me and put me on 1st string basketball, football and baseball. I was not a good student and insecure because of that, but Mr. Kahn always supported me and he gave me a lot of hope that I could accomplish what I set out to do. I regret that I never reconnected with him as I would have liked to tell him that of all the...

Mr. Kahn was a good friend and teacher at Paul Revere. My favorite memory of him was the summer of '64 at Camp Troy in Arrowhead where he was my counselor. It was a fun summer and I will miss him. My condolencest to you Mrs. Kahn

I have often thought of Mr. Kahn, remembering how positive and encouraging he was!! He was always happy, and went out of his way to stay after class to help us work on pull-ups. Prayers for his family. Rest in Peace, Mr. Kahn, thank you for being such a great teacher!

Rest in Peace Coach Kahn, from Kevin Young, Paul Revere '72

So sorry to hear of Mr. Kahn's passing. I was one of his students at Paul Revwre and he was was one of the teachers who I always remembered. I hope he knew just how much he impacted his student's lives. Rest in Peace

Coach Kahn,
You were my gym teacher and track coach and your kind heart and firm fairness were important to me. It made a difference as you made a difference. Thank you and your family for your gifts.

My homeroom was in the X building, on the small hill above the cafeteria area. One day, two older kids came onto campus and attacked one of the students rather viciously. Mr. Kahn seemed to appear out of nowhere to intervene, saving the student and apprehending the bad guys. He was that boy's hero that day and, i suspect, many students felt he was their hero through his caring, his concern and his kindness. the world is a lesser place without him. may God bless him and the family in this time...

Mr. Kahn was also my home room teacher in 8th grade...1963. Rest in peace.

Farewell to a great coach and a great man. Encouraged me to heights I never thought I could attain. Rest easy, Coach. You deserve it.
