Arthur Kuhn, 102, owned four tool-making factories

Mr. Kuhn went to work making patterns for tools when he was 16. He worked until he was 92.

He married at 41, and he and his wife, Elizabeth, were married 58 years. She preceded him in death. He was also preceded in death by a daughter, Carol, who died of cancer at age 29.
