Dr. Kane and family, I had the privilege to work in the Sussex County homestead and see your dad on an almost daily basis. He was the kindest,most compassionate and loving person I have ever met. It was such a pleasure watching him care for Josephine with a smile on his face always. Heaven just got the best angel ever.

Dr Kane and family, I grew up in Passaic and Frank Kane was my Merry Mailman growing up. My friends and I would sing to him as he walked down the street. As years went by I found myself working at Newton Memorial Hospital and worked along side Dr Kane and we reminisced about Passaic. When his Dad came in as a patient the Nurses and Aides all enjoyed caring for him. He always had a smile. The staff off One Hussey are saddened by his loss. It is nice that he was home with family when he passed. His memory will live on in all that knew him.
