John grew up down the street from the Robertsons and went to catholic school with many of us.  He was a fixture at our home and always welcomed as if he was one of us.  His kind heart and raucous sense of humor is what I will remember.    His passing is sad news.

This photo is of Tom Hughes, John, me and Ernie Kuehn back in 2002 at Ernie's house in the Rincon Valley. Tom was visiting from California. John, Ernie and I lived in Tucson back then. Since I found out that John passed away, I've remembered so many things that we did together. When we were students at the University of Arizona, John helped me distribute lecture notes at the Student Union. John operated a table there so students could come pick up notes from previous weeks' lectures where we had notetakers. I printed hard copies of those notes every weekend, and John would distribute them. 

Overwhelming sadness that John is gone. Hard to believe. There are many wonderful memories from the many decades of our years in Tucson that I will always treasure. My father named a street - Calle Kuehn - after John's family in Desert Palms Park back in the early 1960s. John was my cousin.
