James Kane Obituary
AGE: 78 • Tarrytown
James R. Kane of Tarrytown, NY died at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital on Wednesday, April 15, 2015 at the age of 78.
Jim was a graduate of Fordham Preparatory School and Manhattan College. His degree in electrical engineering prepared him to share in the development of the Atlantic Missile Range System at Cape Canaveral and on the island of Aruba. In later years, he continued to develop advanced technology related to the military before focusing on commercial projects. Eventually, Jim established his own company devoted to business structure, consulting and sales.
Jim was a person of many interests—a lover of nature (camping, fishing, gardening, sailing) talented (ham radio operator, painter chef) with extensive knowledge of history and government and an avid golfer.
Above all, Jim cherished his family. He is survived by his wife, Kathleen; his son, James, wife Alexis and granddaughter Alexandrea; his daughter, Mary Kathleen; and his son, John, wife Elizabeth and their two children, his youngest grandchildren.
May God bless him and keep him in peace.
In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution to Jim's favorite charity, City Harvest. Contact Marcin Wolynski at 646-412-0644 or email [email protected].

As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me".
