Joe was born on May 23, 1947, at Harrisburg Hospital and was the son of the late Joseph R. Hahn Sr. and Peggy L. (Snyder) Hahn.
He is survived by his loving wife of 40 years, Kitty. Joe is also survived by his sister, Patricia Welsh, his son Joseph Bower and his wife Mary, daughter Julie Shearer and her husband Jeff, nephew Fred Welsh,
niece Melissa Ridilla, her husband Robert and son Mason. Joe cared deeply for his seven grandchildren, Jeremiah Bower and his wife Riley, Jonah Bower, Spencer Fawbush, Jonathan Bower, Laurel Blymire, Hunter Shearer, and Cassie Blymire. Joe also leaves
behind many other aunts, uncles, and cousins from his parents' large families. Joe graduated from Middletown Senior High School in 1965 where he played basketball, baseball, and football.
Joe worked as a purchaser at Bethlehem Steel for 34 years. In retirement, he consulted in coal sales, was on staff at Sunset Golf Course, and worked as a head usher at The Giant Center in Hershey.
Joe was an avid hunter, fisherman and golfer. He and Kitty enjoyed traveling, sports, and visiting their many friends at home and around the country. Joe liked to work hard and play hard in all he did. He had
a great sense of humor and could always keep a conversation going.
Joe was a member of the Rescue Fireman's Home Association, the Hummelstown American Legion Post 265 (son), the Middletown Moose Lodge 410, the Middletown Anglers and Hunters Association, the Germania Band Club, the Columbia-Middletown Elks, and the Masonic Lodge.
Joe chose to be cremated and did not wish to have a public service.
A private memorial will be held at the family's convenience.
