Francis Hahne Obituary
He was born in Savannah on November 27, 1925 to Francis Hahne. Sr. and Lucille Barthelmess Hahne, also native Savannahians. Frank joined the Army Air Corp before the end of his senior year of Benedictine in 1944. After serving, he departed college early to take over his father's business due to failing health-Hahne Laundry. Frank was a successful businessman and entrepreneur for over 50 years, many of those running Fran Pools. Frank lived a full life; he has been a former member of the Knights of Columbus and a Shriner. He always had a very big and generous heart of hospitality-"sit down and join us, Bubba".
Mr. Hahne is survived by 3 children, 8 grandchildren and almost 12 great grandchildren: Mr. Francis J. Hahne, III (Penny) of TN, Sharon H. Conn (Dick) of SC and Eleanor H. Wiggins (Ronnie) of Savannah; eight grandchildren, Travis Conn (Christy) of SC, Molly Conn Vietmeyer (John) of SC, Danielle Hahne Wicker (Robert) of TN, Matt Conn (Elizabeth) of AL, Ryan Wiggins (Morgan) of Savannah, Emily Hook (Robbie) of Savannah, Andy Conn (Alex) of Savannah, and Blake Wiggins (Katie) of VA; also a niece, Brenda Blake Loven.

Frank, Sharon & Elanor my heart and prayers go out to you all during this very difficult time. As everyone who knew your dad he was a "man's man"! He could do just about anything and would be the 1st one to tell you. I will be eternally blessed for the 40 plus years I experienced as his friend & neighbor. God bless you Frank and give your bride Frances a big kiss for me!
