WILLIAM H. HAHN Jr.

This is a man of principle I'd be calling up to talk about the status of our civic life today. 2020 looms ominously, and we need to walk peacefully with as many as possible different from us to keep us on track with our precious democratic institutions. Bill was an anchor for us, a model for truth and sincerity.

Bill was a brilliant, talented, and quality person. He accomplished so much in his life yet was always modest, generous, and genuine. I had the honor of working with him at WNAC-TV where he was a mentor and inspiration. The world is a better place because of Bill - he is a model for us all.

My deepest condolences to the family. I was honored to have cared for Bill & Bette. There aren't enough kind words to describe the Hahn's. It was a privilege to have known them both. I will never forget our great conversations and the many laughs we shared.

Without a doubt, Bill Hahn was the smartest and classiest person I ever met in my life. I worked for Bill in 1973 at WNAC-TV, as a high school intern. What an experience! I stayed in touch with Bill ever since. My condolences to Amy, Pam, and all the Hahns. But take note- you can be very proud of your Dad! Bill affected so many lives, in a positive way. And Bette was a top-notch, class person also. I miss them both. So sad... without Bill and Bette Hahn, the world today is a little less...

How can I remember, after all these years, "Scrape, scrape, scrapin' the toast"? A true professional and gentleman and one who gave me invaluable advice at the start of my radio career (which was spent in Chicago).

I am saddened to learn of Bill's passing. I lost contact with him many years ago, but recall him fondly as the gentleman many cite and the glue that held the station together through several managers and much adversity. RIP Bill.

i had the privaledge of being associated with Bill during our RKO TV days. A truly fine genleman and valued member of our company. He was held in high esteme by all who met him.

My Tribute to Bill Hahn

In early winter 1970 I was an Oregonian in Cambridge looking for work. I was thrilled to land a job as assistant to a renowned professor at a renowned university in the area. But I found the oppressive treatment of me, mostly as a bumpkin from out west who wasn't the daughter of somebody famous, to be so unbearable on my first day that I quit the next day and explained to the astonished professor why I had to go. I agreed to stay on until a replacement...

To me, my beloved foster father whom I admire and celebrate his wonderful life and family. Now I have to say: "Mom, Dad rest in peace...!Pam, Lanny, Amy my heart and my love is with you!
