Not sure what to say?

I miss my Baba and remain so grateful for his positive influence on my development. He was loving, adventurous, well-organized and enjoyed people deeply. He was a highly skilled diplomat and linguist. He was dedicated to the principles of democracy and instilled a commitment to civic duty in me which has enriched both my own life and contributed to the functionality of my community. Love you always Em

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.

A fine man who loved -- and served -- his country. RIP, good fellow
