Kenneth Hahn
Kenneth Hahn, age 66, of Swampscott, passed away at Boston Medical Center due to complications from congestive heart failure.
A lifelong resident of Swampscott, Ken was born in Lynn and grew up with a large loving family. He worked as a distributor for Coca Cola Co. for many years. He was an avid boater and active member of the Swampscott Yacht Club for forty years.
Loyal and devoted to family and friends, he was always happy to lend someone in need a helping hand with a project, a repair and anything that got his hands dirty. When he wasn’t working on a boat or a car he was in the kitchen cooking up a feast to feed the masses of family and friends that loved his meatballs and sauce.
Ken is survived by his daughters Samantha Hahn of Haverhill and Kati Hahn of Delray Beach FL, his sister Kathleen (Hahn) Bowlby and her husband Larry of The Villages FL, Nephews Kevin Bowlby and Travis McGhee of Tamarac FL, Niece Keri (Bowlby) Walsh and great niece and nephew Kaylie and Dylan Walsh of Hanson. He is predeceased by his parents, Gilbert Hahn and Evelyn (Musto) Hahn. He will be missed by many cousins and friends.

I am so glad that I was able to have had dinner with Michael Legere and Kenny this past January. We chose the Tides restaurant in Nahant to be able to watch the Pats’ wild card game, they lost, but it really did not matter.
Catching up with so much conversation it was hard to get a bite squeezed in, a word in, or even look up to check the Pats’ score. Kenny was beaming with pride as he spoke of his recent trip to Florida. Time spent with and the special news his daughters presented him with. One was now engaged and as he said “I don’t think the other one is too far behind!” with that unique Kenny chuckle. He could not have been more proud of both his daughter’s choice in partnership and felt that they were in “Really good hands”.
I can picture Kenny now with his cousin Donny Legere, and Peter Dawson, at the Sea Gaels’ of Heaven. Fist pumping into the air with one hand and a drink in the other, listening to tunes of the Class of “66.

You left us too soon, Kenny. Your SYC legacy remains as one of the very best. Rest in peace.
Dear Samantha, Kati. Dennis. Kathy, Larry and all other dear friends and family. My name was Gail Steven’s. I was quite upset when I saw this. Your father was an absolute sweetheart and someone I never forgot. We recently got in touch again in the past 2 yrs. after 40 years. I have nothing but great memories and times with him. I have to say he loved his two daughters with all his heart. He told me his best times were just sitting and talking with you. He loved you so much. Samantha, your father wanted to walk down the aisle with you. He was so excited about your wedding. I’m so sad he didnt get to do this. My heart goes out to you and Kati. Keep him in your heart, he will always be with you. Kathy, so sad about your brother. Words cant describe what a wonderful man he was. To all his friends, sorry for your loss. Kenny would want everyone to keep going and not be sad. Rest in peace Kenny Hahn, a beautiful soul.
I first met Kenny in Jr HS. He never changed and was always a warm, friendly guy willing to help out. Even as years passed, it was always great to cross paths and catch up. When my father joined they SYC, they became friends and Kenny was always there to give a hand. He was taken too early & will be missed by many.
I was saddened to hear of Kenny’s passing. Over the years I truly came to appreciate his generosity and good will. Peace to you all in this time.
Rest In Peace Kenny
My condolences to his family and many friends. God best you commodore!
