“Bob Hahn is sorely missed at our university and in the community, but his spirit lives on,” Krimmel said. “Bob meant a great deal to this university and to the thousands of students, faculty and staff who have passed through during the past 37 years. He has left a lasting impression on us, and it is with great pride that we honor him and his family by naming Saint Francis University’s golf shop in his memory.”
Hahn, who was the 2005-06 Northeast Conference Men’s Golf Coach-of-the-Year, was hired by former University President Father Vincent Negherbon, T.O.R. in the spring of 1970 as head men’s golf coach and Golf Pro at the Immergrun Golf Club. He was in his 37th year with the University.
Well respected among his peers, Hahn was inducted into the Saint Francis University Athletics Hall of Fame in 2001 in recognition of his contributions and dedication to the Red Flash athletics program.
