So sorry to hear of John’s passing, we had a lot of laughs over our lifetime! I remember one time, he came into The Patio and threw the vacuum he was carrying down the stairs! He said “indestructible”, I said, “I’ll take three”! Great guy! Your families are in our thoughts and prayers. RIP, John.
My deepest sympathy to the family. It was my honor and privilege to get to take care of John over the years. He kept me on my toes he will be missed.
Dear Kane family,
I was visiting someone at the home where he lived, and coming out the elevator, John said Hello to me. I said Omg, John Kane.
I knew him and his family from St. Rose parish years ago.
We had a nice long talk, i had not seen in 50 yrs. Same smile. I asked about Robert since he and i went to school there.
God rest his soul, he always had a great Kane smile and was great to talk with.
Ill have a mass said at St. Rose too.
God Bless him on his journey home.
