Robert G. Hahn ’57

Body

Bob died Aug. 10, 2007, in Macon, Ga.

He attended Princeton University on a naval scholarship and majored in history. He was active in Orange Key and the Under-

graduate Council. His senior-year roommates were Doug Beatty and Doug Kerin.

Bob was employed by Southern Cement and later by Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. and Mutual Financial Group. In the Macon community, he was active in the Riverside Methodist Church, the Woodruff Sunday Class, and the Tuesday Prayer Breakfast. For more than 20 years, he was a member of the Optimist Club, which honored him three times — the only man to be so recognized.

He is survived by Joann, his wife of 48 years; son Robert; daughter Hope Shields; brother Frederick; sister Ann Knies; and several nieces and nephews. A devout and kind individual, he will be sorely missed. The class extends its sincere condolences.
