Justin Joseph Kuhn was born on March 12, 1924 in Victoria, Kansas and entered into eternal life on March 21, 2013 in Seaside, Oregon. He was preceded in death by his wife Mary, his parents Margaret and Nicholas Kuhn and siblings Sophie, Edwin, Remigius, George, William, Nicholas, Angeline and Sylvester, Daughter Elsie Ann Caldwell and grandsons Orren Caldwell and Justin Shirk.
Justin served with distinction in the Army from June of 1943 to April of 1946, achieving the rank of Sergeant. He was deployed to Germany during World War II. He and Mary Lynn LAmoreaux were married June 10, 1948 in Victoria, KS and spent forty happy years together before her death in 1988. Their marriage was blessed with six children, twelve grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren.
For thirty-six years, Justin worked for Halliburton, braving blistering summers and frigid winters in the oil fields of both Kansas and Wyoming. He was the recipient of numerous safety awards during these years. In 1984 Justin retired and he and Mary moved to the Oregon coast.
