Dear Kane Family,
How blessed you were to have this wonderul man in your life. He and my Dad were buddies for many years. One Thanksgiving my Dad was at my house and your Dad went walking by. He was going to try and find some wine for dinner. (he had forgotten to get it before hand.) My Dad invited him and said to me, you have an extra bottle of wine. I had just bought extra for all the holidays and gave him two bottles. Funny the silly things you remember. These kind of memories will keepe your Dad alive in your hearts forever. Kate Dennin

My deepest condolences to the Kane family. I always enjoyed seeing Mr. and Mrs. Kane on Fridays. He had great stories and we always had some laughs. More importantly, I remember how much he talked about his own family and how proud he was of all his children. He was a great guy who will be missed by all. Fridays will never be the same. Mrs. Kane I know you don't need me to tell you how much he loved an adored you. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
