Body

Jack died Feb. 24, 2014, at his home in Buffalo, N.Y.

He came to Princeton from the Lawrenceville School and majored in basic engineering. Jack acted in Theatre Intime productions, played in the Tigers Orchestra, and joined Dial Lodge. After Princeton there were stints in the Coast Guard and then the family department-store business. Harvard Law School followed, leading to a successful and satisfying career as a tax and estate lawyer.

Jack was full of wit, energy, and enthusiasm — all of which he freely shared. His philanthropic and voluntary contributions encompassed a range of health, environmental, and social concerns. He loved tennis, skiing, sailing, and golf. Theater, music, and reading also were passions. Jack was an active Presbyterian layman.

Jack was married to Anne Holland Davey, who died in 1998. He is survived by his sons, Charles D. Hahn and Erik S. Hahn; daughter Anne Hahn-Baker ’81; sister Jill Russo; two grandchildren; and loving friend Joy Rogers. The class extends condolences to them all in their loss of their loved one and our very good friend.
