Former Paradise Valley council member and mayor James David Hann died in September at the age of 91. His family is hosting a celebration of his life on Jan. 7 at The Church of the Beatitudes.
Hann served a total of four years on the Town Council from 1992 to 1996, working as mayor in the first two years and council member in the remaining years.
