We were part of the GAF family with Kane and Connie and enjoyed Christmas parties with them. Kane was quite the character, I remember him dressing up at a Halloween party a bunch of us went to. He was dressed up as a woman with balloons and padding and as usual he was the life of the party. He was a great guy and will be missed by many!! I was glad to have him as a friend!! My thoughts and prayers are with all the family as he has joined Connie in Heaven!!
