Myron E. Hann 1935-2022

Myron, known as “Sonny,” was born March 5, 1935, in Youngstown, the son of Kenneth Eugene and Eleanor Belknap Hann.

He attended Poland Seminary High School, and following high school, served in the U.S. Army.

Myron loved working with his hands from a young age and after he returned from his second tour in the Army, he found his calling for the next 50 years as a plumber and steamfitter. As a lifelong Mahoning Valley resident, he worked for E.H. Duncan in Poland before going onto the Plumbers and Pipefitters, Local 396 where he worked for R.M. Jones Plumbing in Boardman until his retirement.

Myron met his wife, Shirley A. Wilson, at the Mural Room Dance Hall in Youngstown. They married June 12, 1965, in Wurtemburg, Pa.

Besides his wife of 56 years, he leaves behind three children, Sandra L. Edwards of Augusta, Ga., Brian K. (Rebecca) Hann of Castalia and Greg Scott (Stephanie Volpini) Hann of Poland; six grandchildren, Christopher Edwards, Michael (Stephany) Edwards, Sean (Kayla) Edwards, Wyatt Hann, Greggory Hann and Maren Emilia “Milly” Hann; a brother, Jack Hann of Austintown; and a sister, Nancy (Lauren) Dye of Chambersburg, Pa.

Throughout his life, Myron loved working with his hands and was known to fix about anything. In his free time, Myron could be found tinkering in his garage, where the neighborhood kids could get their bikes repaired. He enjoyed traveling and camping with his family, where he could be found tending to the campfire and coming up with new inventions. Myron loved to spend Saturday nights watching Lawrence Welk and listening to his talk radio and country music, often at the same time.

Besides his parents, Myron was preceded in death by his sister-in-law, Sophie Hann.

There will be a memorial service celebrating Myron’s life at a later date. There are no calling hours.

The family requests that material tributes take the form of contributions to Hospice of the Valley, 5190 Market St., Boardman, OH 44512, in memory of Myron.

Arrangements are being handled by Cunningham-Becker Funeral Home, 270 N. Main St., Poland. Please visit www.beckerobits.com to share memories and online condolences with Myron’s family.
