Maintaining The Legacy

W

illiam "Bill" Kahn, 84,
of Franklin, died June
7, 2007, after losing his
battle with lung cancer.

tect Albert Kahn. His
father, Louis Kahn,

Mr. Kahn lived in
the home designed by
Albert Kahn and built
by his parents over
fiEk
80 years ago. The
William Kahn
property became a
focal point in his life, a place where
he grew up, entertained friends
and raised his three children, Petra,
Sandra (deceased) and Robert.
Mr. Kahn served on the board of
Junior Achievements for more than
15 years, supporting its educational
goals. In addition, his passions
were his home, his family and flying
his airplane. He flew his family on
numerous explorations throughout

and the Virgin Islands. As the elder
statesman for the Kahn family, he
was the person the family looked to
as the raconteur and chronicler of
the family history.
