When the Kane kids get together, we always talk about growing up on Forest Glen and your family is the first we think of. Your dad always allowed us to have our "plays" in his garage. Our parents were from a great generation and we honor them still. God Bless you all. MJ and the kids: Jim, Kandy, Ed, Pat, Mary, the late Peggy, Dan, Mike and John Kane

I only had the privilege of meeting my dad's (Frank Cunniff) Uncle Joe once, but it was a profound memory that I still think back on. I interviewed him when I was a junior in high school (in the year 2000) for a World War II veteran assignment. I learned about how he designed coats that had pockets for grenades that were worn by soldiers storming the beach on Normandy. He also designed special wire cutters that were strong enough for the soldiers to cut through fences when they needed to. It was such an interesting story, and he was so kind to me. I will always remember him for that story and because Joe looked so much like my grandpa Luke Cunniff. My prayers and condolences go out to his whole family.
