Print Obituary & CondolencesOffer Condolence for the family of John “Phil” P. Kushenbach Jr.
I was a fellow classmate of Phil’s at RBHS and remember a guy who always had a smile on his face! When he attended our 45th class reunion this past fall, that same smile was evident! My condolences to the entire Kushenbach family. Laurel (Cannon) Woebbeking
Condolences to Phil’s family. He was a fellow classmate at R-B and a brilliant one. Very friendly and funny. Rest in peace.
Through all the good and bad times in life, he was a friend and will remain a friend as long as I live.
Phil always had a ready smile and a loving heart. Rest in peace.
He will be missed. Such a talented person. So loving, fun and a great person. Truly a loss for all of us.
Phil helped us find the goodness within ourselves and others. He will be missed and remembered well.
I was Phil´s colleague at G. J. Nikolas Inc. in Bellwood, and I will miss his thoughtful and witty and caring and friendly attitude. I felt like (older, I am 65)) brother to you, Phil (even though you were my supervisor…). I wish I worked with you longer than just about 7 years (1990-1997), rest in peace, pal.
