Ed Kane was an excellent, highly intelligent example of the former leaders we knew and he was briefly but effectively an outstanding mentor to me. A first rate human being.

I called my father Baba. He understood love. He was raised with a lot of love and I never doubted his love for me. He had many adventures and found a good balance of enjoying himself with gusto, while maintaining a deep connection to his career and advancing the cause of democracy in the world. I miss him.
