SACO — Clement F. Hahn Jr. passed away on March 29, 2014 in Horconcitos, Zacapa, Santa Barbara, Honduras, of complications following a stroke.
He was buried in Horconcitos on March 30.
Born in Sioux City, Iowa on Aug. 3, 1919, he moved to Saco at the age of 12 and was part of the Thornton Academy Class of 1937.
He joined the Marine Air Corps after graduating from Maryville College in June 1941 and served through September of 1945, with tours in Guadalcanal and Majuro (Marshall Islands).
Graduating from dental school at the University of Maryland, he practiced dentistry in Hazard, Ky., Elkton, Md. and Greenville, S.C. before volunteering his service in 1975 as a dental missionary at La Buena Fe Clinic in Horconcitos.
A born-again Christian, he lived in Honduras for the balance of his life, treating patients, training dentists and coordinating medical teams, often returning to Maine to visit his children and spend the summer season.
He is survived and dearly missed by: his wife of many years, Reina, and her children, Oscar, Josue and Haylin Hernandez, all of Horconcitos, Honduras; his daughter, Joy A. Page of Sanford; his son, James H. Hahn of Rumford, R.I.; and his grandchildren, Alex Page of Rochester, N.Y., Dean Page of Sanford, James W.
