January 13, 2024 at 10:28 pmMr. Kane was my high school football coach in Levittown. He was a tremendous influence on me with his inspired comments during rainy, muddy practices. I never forgot him and am sad that he has died. His lessons are probably why I myself became a teacher here in NJ. He was at his best during the infamous 1978 Levittown Teachers Strike. It hurt his heart and he told us so. God bless Coach Kane!
