June 23, 1930 - October 20, 2021
Colleyville, Texas - Dr. Edward K. Hahn, DDS, 91, passed away October 20, 2021 in Fort Worth. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio on June 23, 1930. Dr. Hahn studied at John Carroll University where he received his undergraduate degree followed by a DDS at Case Western Reserve University in 1956. On June 25, 1956, Dr. Hahn married the love of his life, Doris May Monus in the Old Stone Church on Cleveland's Public Square. At graduation, Dr. Hahn received a direct regular United States Air Force Commission as 1st Lieutenant in the Dental Corps from President Dwight D. Eisenhower. He then completed his dental internship at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio. In 1957 he was promoted to Captain and transferred to Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland as a Prosthetics Officer. In the early 1960's Dr. Hahn taught as a clinical instructor at his alma mater's School of Dentistry at Case Western Reserve University. He practiced dentistry in North Richland Hills, Texas from 1964-2013. Afterwards he maintained a practice in Grapevine, Texas until 2015.
Throughout his career, he was active serving on the board of directors for the Tarrant County College Dental Hygiene program and as a member of the medical education committee for Medical City North Hills Hospital. He also served as an advisor for the Fort Worth District Dental Assistants Organization, advisor for the clinical examiner at Tarrant County College, liaison for the Tarrant County Dental Assisting Dental Hygiene Program and as vice chairman of the credentials committee and chairman of the ethics committee for Medical City North Hills Hospital. He is also the author of the book "The Health of the Dentist" which was published in 1957.
He received awards which include the Distinguished Service Award by Medical City North Hills Hospital in 1989 and an Outstanding Service to the Dental Profession Award by the Fort Worth District Dental Society in 1995.

Dr. Hahn had several interests. His travels included visits to Hawaii, NW Canada and Mexico City. His most extensive trip was traveling from England by train through France and northern Europe into Russia and all the way to Lake Baikal in Siberia. He also had a love of cars primarily from the 40's and 50's since he grew up pumping gas and detailing cars at his father's gas station in Cleveland. In his teenage years customers allowed him the opportunity to drive their "fancy" cars for taking out dates. Buicks were his favorite.
