Richard was born on March 9, 1939, in Marshfield, Wis., to William Sr. and Anna (Sternot) Hahn. On February 23, 1963, he married Nancy Jensen in Pittsville. After eight years in Pittsville, they began a new chapter of life in Windsor, Wis.

Richard had a lifelong passion for truck driving, spending 45 years driving locally, regionally, and across the country. He also loved racing and rarely missed the open wheel events in Sun Prairie. Polka music was his favorite, and nothing brought him more joy than time spent with his grandchildren. Richard was a devout Catholic who held his faith close.

Richard is survived by his wife of 63 years, Nancy; his children, Kimberly Hahn of DeForest and Amie (Scott) Mink of DeForest; and his three grandchildren, Kyan Renz, Sopheea Mink and Isabella Mink. He is further survived by his brother, William (Kathy) Hahn Jr. of Pittsville; along with many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Marion Dix and JoAnn Lipka; and brothers, Marvin Hahn, Arnold Hahn and Donald Hahn.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Sunset Ridge Memory Care for the love and support they provided to Richard during his time there.
