I have known Father Joseph Kane since grammar school at Saint Catherine's in Norwood 1951 to 1958 . At that time he was known as Joey and he and Peter Curren went to Cathedral high school and my sister and I went to Saint Clares in Roslindale. We all reconnected later in life when Joey was known as Fr Kane a diocesan priest & Peter was known as Fr Curran a missionary priest in Brazil . At that time both he and Peter came to Norwood later in their semi retirement years ,we would all reconnect when Peter was home in August from his missionary duties in Brazil . At those times in the past we would all occasionally drive into Regina Cleri to take Joe out to lunch at the union oyster house always a good time both Mary and I will miss Joe but he is in a better place . I have read that sometimes in death God gives us the gift of peace and takes away the pain I truly believe Fr Joe is in a much better place and I extend my sympathy to his family in all of his friends we will miss him and we appreciate having been able to spend time and know him as a classmate and as an adult.
