Robert Casey Kuhn passed away April 13th, 2017, at Peppi's Hospice, Tucson, AZ. He was born to Robert Frederick Kuhn and Elizabeth Casey Kuhn in Buffalo, NY on July 20th, 1943.
Casey spent his childhood along with his sisters Karen Smith and Julie Fredette in Roxbury, CT, where he formed bonds and memories that would last his lifetime. He met the love of his life, Mary Herrington, at Thiel College. They married in 1969 and eventually settled in Mary's hometown of Hillsdale, NY, where they raised their children, Carrie Kuhn and Sarah Campbell. Casey took immense joy and pride in his daughters and his grandsons, Tristin and Charlie Campbell, and shared his love and respect with sons-in-law, John Dandurand and Peter Campbell.
Casey joined the Herrington family business and bought and ran Herrington Fuels for 25 years. Through his business and community relationships Casey was generous and compassionate, quietly helping when he saw need.
Casey loved reading, golf and fishing trips, and he and Mary traveled often with close and valued friends. He was a philosopher, always motivated to do the right thing—Casey lived life with grace and courtesy. He had a fabulous memory, a dry, teasing wit, and a talent for easy company. Casey leaves behind a legacy of love and caring. We celebrate Casey Kuhn—a true gentleman, who made us all better just by being himself.
