Affectionately known as Billy to his family, Mr. Hahn’s siblings thought him the epitome of grace. He was innocent and sweet, with a touch of their dad’s sense of humor. He was well-loved by his God-given family, as well as his extended family at the Elizabeth Ludeman Center in Park Forest where he resided for many years. The staff at Ludeman, who called him Willie, were familiar with his harmless pranks like pretending to steal his roommate’s food. Eternal Rest Grant Unto Him O’ Lord and Let Perpetual Light Shine Upon Him

Private graveside services and burial will be at Culver Masonic Cemetery in Culver with Rev. Stephen Felicichia officiating.

Memorial donations may be made to St. Mary of the Lake Catholic Church.
