Not sure what to say?

A light has gone out on earth with the passing of Kenny but heaven is even brighter with his presence.

I shall always remember Ken as a gentle man and a gentleman who absolutely loved his wonderful family. When those of us who were the remaining "residents" of that exclusive metropolis on Wood Island in Larkspur, Ken was the person who maintained the calmness and dignity so necessary for us to get through the calamity at that time. Ken was a consummate professional bore out...

On behalf of my mother (Betty Dunn) and our entire family, Kenny will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathy to Peggy and her family. We love you and are thinking of you during your time of sorrow.

Did not know Kenny but knew Charlie. Charlie often spoke of Kenny. Charlie my prayers for you on the loss of your brother.

I went to grade school with Kenny at St. Leo's in Highland Park and knew him all through high school until he left Louisville. He was a great person and talented athlete. The Kuhn family was a big part of our lives those years growing up and I am sad to hear that he has died. My sympathy to his wife, children, grandchildren, and his brothers and sisters.

I have to say, being Kenny's daughter was a wonderful thing. He was such a great dad. He was always very supportive of anything I choose to do. When it came time to go to college, I never had to worry about paying my way. Dad never refused to help me even though it took me 5 1/2 years to finish! He was so fun-loving all the time. I do not ever remember him being in a bad mood(I'm not kidding). Even as he was fighting cancer, he never let it be the main topic of conversation. He would...

I will always remember my Uncle Kenny with a contagious grin on his face. He (along with my Aunt Peggy) was the ultimate host and over the years entertained hundreds of people in their home - many who stayed for weeks and even months. I never went there when I did not feel welcome. I don't ever remember him talking of his athletic prowess. Even when he was in treatment and weakened by cancer, he always switched the subject to what other people were doing. He didn't like to talk or dwell...

I graduated from Shawnee H.S. in 1955, the same year Kenny Kuhn graduated from Male. Even though I did not know Kenny personally, I'm saddened to learn of his passing. He was a great all-around athlete along the lines of Male's Ralph Beard who graduated in 1945.

In 1950, on Diamond #1 in Shawnee Park Broadway side), Kenny hit three home runs off me in a 13 year-old league game. I pitched for "Club 21" and he played shortstop for Ellison A.C. The three homers were hard line drives...

Kenny was my pops and i am name id after him.I will miss him very much. After one of my basketball games he would call and ask me how I did, And I loved to tell him about it. I miss you pops and I know you're in heaven

I miss my pops. I remember all the good times we had when he lived in Lake Tahoe. He was always crazy, making jokes and finding a way to make things fun. Though I did not see him as much as I would have liked, just knowing he was around was a gift.
