HERBERT H. HANN 77 - of Somers Point, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 5th, at home. Born in Philadelphia, he had lived in South Jersey for over 36 years.

Herb was a member of Local Union #98 International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers for over 20 years. Moving from Philadelphia to Estell Manor, he was a volunteer with the Estell Manor Fire Company and served a term on the Estell Manor City Council. Always a proud Patriot, Herb was the Senior Vice Commander at VFW Post 220 of Mays Landing, a member of the Korean War Veterans, the Chosin Few, the Vietnam Veterans of America, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, a volunteer at the Veterans Center in Ventnor, and a charter member of the Colonel Louis R.
