He was a member of St. James Catholic Church for 56 years.  An original contributor to the organization of the St. James Fall Bazaar, “Jimmie” also served on the Parish Council, Maintenance Committee, and was the Founder of the ‘Famous Hahn Family Kitchen’. He was an avid Fisherman who enjoyed the outdoors beyond measure. There is only one happiness in this life – to love and be loved; “Jimmie” lived it to the fullest. “Well done, well done, my beloved child you have run the race and now you’re home.” “Jimmie” was predeceased by his parents Margaret Annette and Walter Joseph Hahn and brother,  Joseph Walter Hahn.
