DAVID MCKANE

McKANE--David Bennett. David Bennett McKane, beloved father, husband, brother, uncle and grandfather, passed away at his home on March 13th, 2025, at the age of 80. Born on July 10, 1944, in Salem, MA, David's devotion to his family was the foundation of his life. He married Wilson Lineburgh on April 16, 1977, and together they raised three daughters: Taylor, Lee and Paige Baldwin, all of CT. "Poppy" was also a proud grandfather to 11 grandchildren, each of whom held a special place in his heart. His career spanned decades. At Schick International, he rose through the ranks to COO and EVP, and eventually went on to found McKane Robbins & Company, then Riverland and Indian Sun, LLC. His influence extended beyond his professional career. He was a trustee of Greens Farms Academy in Westport, CT, as well as a board overseer for the Tuck School of Business, where he graduated in 1969. David had a keen wit, a discerning knowledge of history, and was a Red Sox fanatic, but his greatest passion was mentoring students and young adults, both academically and professionally. His commitment to education and community service was a testament to his dedication to helping others. He will be remembered for his unwavering devotion to his family and friends, and the countless lives he touched through his generosity and leadership. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the McKane Family Scholarship at the Tuck School of Business, 6066 Development Office, Hanover, NH.
