In addition to his vocational and family commitments, he sang in several community and church choirs, taught Sunday school and was an Elder of St. Peter's Lutheran Church, New Hamburg. In the later years, he joined and became a member of Trinity United Church in Kitchener. Throughout his life, Mr. Hahn was asked to serve on many boards, St. Peter's Lutheran Church, the public school board for 18 years and the Community Library board, all of New Hamburg. In addition, his presence was requested to sit on the Corporate boards of Hand Chemical Co. Ltd. of Milton and General Wire & Cable Co. Ltd. of Cobourg. He was also a member of the Board of Governors at Alma College in St. Thomas, and a Charter Board Member of Associated Faculties of Waterloo College when it originated in 1956, the forerunner of what is now the University of Waterloo. From 1957 to 1973, Mr. Hahn continued to sit as a member of the Board of the University of Waterloo, as well as, a committee member of the New Hamburg and North Waterloo District Boy Scouts, The Victorian Order of Nurses, the Canadian National Institute for the Blind and a life Member of the Waterloo Historical Society.

From 1948, he devoted more than 45 years to Rotary International receiving the personal recognition of being a recipient of the Paul Harris Fellowship Award. Through most of his life, his devotion of Masonry never faltered. In 1926 he was initiated into New Dominion Masonic Lodge No. 205, AF & AM in New Hamburg and later become Master of that Lodge in 1932, only to continue with the Lodge of Perfection and Rose Croix, Guelph Chapter in the years to follow. In 1946, Mr. Hahn joined Moore Sovereign Consistory in Hamilton. He later became a member of the Shrine of Mocha Temple, London and then was invited to join the Royal Order of Jesters, London Court No. 56 in 1971. Furthering his pursuits in Masonry, he was elected the District Deputy Grand Master in 1979. In the spring of 1997, Mr. Hahn was presented his 70 year Masonic pin in the presence of his family and friends by the members of the New Dominion Lodge. Lewis was predeceased by his loving wife in 1994, the former Marville (Doerr) whom he married in 1935 and leaves to mourn his three children who were his whole life, Marilew West and her husband Tom of RR 2, Baden, Jim and his wife Marianne of RR 2, Cambridge and Judith Kocher and her husband Doug of Milton. With love and sorrow, he will be sadly missed by his eight grandchildren, Julie, Geoffrey, Tim, Cameron, Andrew, Brent, Christopher and Melissa. His eight great-grandchildren, Dylan, Emma, Braydon, Nathan, Maxwell, Jeremy, Olivia, Hannah and Amelia have brought him tremendous joy. He is also survived by several nieces, nephews and by one sister-in-law, Mrs. Mae Doerr. Besides his wife and parents, Lewis was predeceased by his loved and loving sister, Audrey Kalbfleisch.
