I'm very sorry to hear of Mr. Kuehm's passing. He was my teacher at Messiah Lutheran School back in the early 80's, and a great guy. I still remember when he took the whole class to the Rosemont Horizon to see President Reagan at a campaign event. It was quite exciting for us as kids to see the president, but I don't think anyone was as excited as Mr. Kuehm. He had us all chanting "eight straight, eight straight!" Thanks to him, it's a great memory that I'll never forget. Rest in peace, Mr. Kuehm.

Uncle Lew and I shared the love for art. I am grateful for the time he and I worked together on a gratitude project last Thanksgiving 2016.

Our deepest sympathy to all the Kuehm family!

Uncle Lew will be greatly missed. His love for Jesus, music, and others will forever live on.

Sherry and I still remember Uncle's "charge" on our wedding day - JOY = Jesus, Others, You!

Thank you, Uncle Lew, for the great legacy you have left.

Love,

Mark & Sherry
