George Bruce Rahn, of Hanover, passed away at Hanover and District Hospital, on Saturday, June 7^th, 2025 at the age of 80.He was born in Hanover, Ontario, on May 17^th, 1945 to the late Hilliard and Mae (nee Boyes) Rahn. George was proud to be born and raised in Hanover and to live his lifetime in this town and raise a family. He truly loved Hanover and this was reflected in his career and his volunteerism. As a citizen he always strived to contribute to making Hanover "the place to be". George met the love of his life, Sharon Wilken, in Hanover in 1969. They were married the following year. Soon after, they welcomed their 2 sons into their family. Together they enjoyed many years of wonderful memories being parents, and eventually proud grandparents. George and Sharon recently celebrated 55 years of marriage. Many people will remember George's affectionate smile, fun-loving nature, quick wit, and warm laugh. He was always up for a chat or a good joke and could be seen giving a friendly wave while he walked the streets of town on his daily mail routes during his many years working for Canada Post. When he wasn't busy with his job and raising his family, he would fill his time with his various hobbies, flying RC planes and working with model trains, and volunteer roles. His many hours of volunteering eventually earned him nominations for both the Hanover Citizen of the Year award and the Lifetime Achievement Award for Community Service, which he was awarded in 2005 and 2015, respectively. Locally George was often the voice on Hanover’s Bluewater Radio as Postie’s Golden Oldies.  As proud as George was of his many accomplishments, he was always most proud of his wife and his family. In his own words, George saw God's light in each family member but it shone no brighter than when they were all together. 

Survived by his best friend and beautiful wife, Sharon (nee Wilken) of Hanover. Proud father of Jason (Stacy) and Jared (Ann), both of Hanover, and special 'Opa' of Jacob (Jenna), Eva Marie (Sam), Jaydan, and Ainsley. Fondly remembered by his brother Jim of Marl Lake. George was forever thankful to the entire Wilken Family for accepting him into their family and for the cherished memories over the years. Predeceased by his parents. 

Just as George wished, a Casual Come & Go Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, June 22^nd, 2025, from 2-5 pm, at Ground Effects Special Event Centre, Hanover (#341411 Concession 2 NDR) – all are welcome to attend and share in a good time.
