Learning of Bobs passing all of these years later is melancholy and sad; but remembering his humor, guidance and dedication lifts me up. Bob Kane was a focused and kind man who lived by a code of doing what was right. He loved his family and was proud of them, he loved his wife and was dedicated to her. He cared for his clients and was a loyal lieutenant to my Grandfather Sol Laykin at Laykin et Cie for decades. I personally learned so much from him and am grateful for that. I wish his children, grand children and great grandchildren all the best in their lives.....just as Bob would have wanted it.

Well Dad: I got a notice today that the guest book will remain online until Jan 13, 2013. I probably will not renew the showing of the guest book but rather, I will write to you in a journal that I can add to anytime I feel the need. I continue to need to your spirit to influence me and hope that Mom and You are at peace and most of all I pray I get to see you again in heaven. I love you always.....
Our last Father's Day together.......June 2010
November 9, 2012
Hi Daddy: its getting close to another Yarzeit for you...hard to imagine it has been almost two years. I think about you and mom so often and reflect on what a blessing it was to be so close to you both. I still need to believe that you are watching over me; guiding me; and helping me make good, solid choices as my life progresses. I still believe that I'll see you and mom again (along with Herb) and pray that until then you exist in peace and tranquility surrounded by love. You certainly are loved by me and Liz and Roberta ahead of many others as well. I love you. Candy

Since the online guestbook is still around and since you aren't: I figured I could at least acknowledge that today is Fathers Day and tell "you" what a great father you were. Most especially in the last 5 years of your life; we grew our friendship and created many wonderful moments I will always remember. RIP DAD.....

Hey Dad. I got a notice today that this guest book was about to be taken offline. I had the option to leave it for another year and so I am. No doubt I'm the only one who will view it or comment on it; but I wanted to leave it.
I miss you more than you can imagine. I know you watch over me (I have the quarters to prove it) and that makes me feel so good on days when I miss you. Love ckw

Dear Candy,
Thank you for calling and letting my mom and I know of your father's passing. We worked with Bob at Laykin et Cie for many years. He was a wonderful guy; so knowledgeable, so full of love for his family and what a sense of humor. Mom was so happy to have reconnected with Bob a few years ago and enjoyed their chats about "the old days". We will miss him dearly.

Candy, Elizabeth, and Roberta. I am so sorry to hear of your father and grandfather's illness and death. Even though I only knew him for a short time during his long life, I felt the love that you all had for each other. That love, along with the many stories and experiences will last in your heart for ever. I pray that he is now in heaven with Lenette, Kari and the rest of his family and friends. Emily and I wish you our sympathy.

Dear Candy,
Hector and I were very sorry to hear about your father’s battle with cancer and his passing away.
Even though we only met him a few times, his personality came through loud and clear as a very confident, independent, active, humorous and loving family man. I often heard Liz refer to him as “papa” reflecting her close and loving relationship with him. It is clear that all of us who knew him will miss him. We send our deepest sympathy to you and all your family.
Love, Hector and Raquel Ortiz

Dear Candy,
I was so sorry to read about your Dad's passing! I grew very fond of your Dad and Mom, years ago, enjoyed their sage advice and uncanny sense of humor and their unselfish giving of their love to you and your family! Bob was a very unique man and he will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to you, your family, Elizabeth and Roberta! Nothing but celebrations from hereon in.

Bob,
You were the epitome of a gentleman, and a wonderful grandpa and father. Your family will be fine, because you gave them such a firm foundation. We will all miss the twinkle in your eye and your clever comments. Say hi to my dad for me when you get there!
love, Joanie

From the 3rd verse of the Marine's Hymn:
"If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines."
Looking forward to standing post with you some day. Semper Fidelis.

Bob, thanks for being a friend for the past 17 years. We had many battles on the tennis courts but always left in good spirits. Imagine how happy I was after moving to Texas to find you were continuing to use email. You were the master of one-liners! You had a way of cheering everyone up, especially when in your presence. Bob, you will always be one of my most admired friends, a model of how to live graciously.

Poppa, I will miss you so much. You were always there for me no matter what. You have been such a major part of my life that it will be hard to continue without you in it. At least now you and Nana are together again. You will be missed so much. Love you always, liz

Bob Kane was a student of mine at the Braille Institute for two years. He was a great guy! Always upbeat, positive and very knowledgeable. He was a joy to have in class as his energy and contributions to our discussions were always a delight. He will be missed. Cheryl Miller.

Dad, you lived a long and wonderful life and gave us kids and grandkids memories that will last for generations to come. I miss you more than words can express and I will keep you in my heart forever. I pray you and Mom are together again. I love you.
