                     IN REMEMBRANCE OF DANIEL KANE

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 9, 2011

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and remembrance of 
Daniel Kane, who devoted his life to the assistance of others and to 
improving the well being of the Cleveland community.
  Daniel was born and raised in Slavic Village, in the very same house 
his mother had been raised. Through his commitment to serving others, 
he helped bring about several significant improvements within the 
community. He founded the Morgana little league, which provided the 
youth of his community an opportunity to participate in America's 
pastime, baseball. He also established the first community garden for 
Slavic Village, which would eventually be named in honor and 
recognition of his hard work.
  Daniel's devotion to his community and country was apparent from the 
early years of his life. He served his country in the Second World War, 
risking life and limb. After the war he began to work for the Cleveland 
Division of Police as a patrolman and would eventually work his way up 
to the rank of detective. He retired from the force in 1978, but could 
not be separated from his devotion to the community. He continued to 
serve as an Investigative Counselor for the Cleveland Board of 
Education.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in remembering the 
distinguished life of Daniel Kane, whose legacy of community 
involvement is admirable. I extend my deepest and sincerest condolences 
to his wife Yolanda and his children, Diane, Donna and Daniel Jr.
