KANE - Raymond Peter of Northport, NY passed away peacefully in his sleep at home on Monday, June 10, 2013. Mr. Kane was born in Manhattan and was a veteran of both WWII, where he served as a member of the Merchant Marine and the Korean War where he served in the Army as a medic. Mr. Kane later sailed the world aboard both the S.S. United States and the S.S. America leading to a long career in the travel industry. He retired in 2003 after 41 years as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pisa Brothers Travel Service, Inc., a world-renowned boutique travel firm located in Rockefeller Center.

Dear Scott,

There is no doubt that the world is poorer for your father's death. I have been with Pisa Brothers since 1977 and have wonderful memories of life in the office, led and guided by him.

I hope he did not suffer...

My condolences to you and your family...

Ray, along with his lovely wife, Marilyn, were longtime friends of my parents, Ward and Dolly Hooper. We will remember his kind sensitivity and eloquence-- so appreciated during lingering Sunday brunches with my family.

Ray was always a gentleman and a man of honor, in an industry that came to be known for some who weren't. His legacy is not just the success he and Pisa Brothers achieved, it is also very much about the ethical standards he set and maintained.
