He was born August 10, 1944 in Syracuse, New York the son of the late Edward and Marie (Sheldon) Hahn.
Jeff worked as an educator for over 40 years. He began his teaching career in Huntington, NY. He later became the Superintendent of Laurens Central School and retired as the Deputy Superintendent of ONC BOCES. After retirement, he greatly enjoyed his time working with future teachers in the Education Department at Hartwick College. While on Long Island, he spent several summers working as a policeman in Northport Harbor.
Jeff was generous with his time in helping others. He was an active member of St. Matthew Lutheran Church, Laurens and was a dedicated organizer and volunteer in its Food Pantry. Other organizations in which he was actively involved included the Oneonta Concert Association, the Hunger Coalition of Otsego County, Saturday’s Bread, and Literacy Volunteers of Otsego and Delaware Counties.
Jeff was a wonderful loving and gentle husband, father, grandfather, and father-in-law. Spending time with his family brought him great joy, and he adored his seven grandchildren.
In addition to his wife, Corinne, of 45 years, Jeff is survived by his children, Jason (Laura) and Kate (Joe); his grandchildren, Leo, Ani, Nathalie, Christophe, Jacob, Violette, and Pennelope; his brother, Richard Hahn; his sister, Aletha (Scot) Longley; and many other close family members.
There will be no service at this time. Future plans will be made at the convenience of the family.
