Thank you Dr. Hahn for all your wisdom and advice. I remember Dr. Hahn yelling at specialists and teaching me to hold my ground when I felt I was doing right for a patient. He was a great mentor. He will be missed.

Dr. Hahn, you will truly be missed. Staci and Emily, we want to express our sorrow and sadness for your great loss. We have known Dr. Hahn for almost 20 years. He was not just our family doctor, he was part of our family. He not only took care of me, he also delivered 3 of my 4 children and continued to take care of my children growing up. He will never be forgotten and he will remain in our hearts forever.

Staci and Miss Em - My love to you both. I've reflected on Ric so much these past two weeks and keep coming to the place that he was always present. Somehow he always was there in a crisis - always there when one needed him. Its so hard to believe that he is no longer present in human form. I always thought of Ric as Rex Harrison and watched him nurture and transform many Eliza Doolittles, me being one of them. I'm forever blessed by the gifts he gave me. I will miss him greatly.

Ricardo was my best friend in Family Medicine after he hired me into the Department in 2004. We went through tough times together and I finally left in 2008. But I continued to consult him regarding several patients and always thought very highly of him. Thanks Ricardo for your friendship and your strength of will in the face of difficult challenges. You will always be my hero and friend.
