                        Wednesday, June 20, 2007

  Mr. PATRICK J. MURPHY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize Charles Kane, a man who dedicated his life to serving 
seniors, children and anyone in need. Earlier this month, Mr. Kane 
passed away after a fight with cancer. With his passing, Bucks County 
lost a great community leader and a committed advocate for senior 
citizens.
  Mr. Kane was well known for his work in Bucks County, where he led 
numerous services agencies, including the Area Agency on Aging. By 
those who had the pleasure of working with him, Charlie will surely be 
missed, not only for his exceptional talent but his unwavering 
compassion. He truly cared about the many individuals he helped on a 
daily basis throughout his impressive career. Madam Speaker, Charlie 
touched countless lives and his kindness will always be remembered.
  Composed and professional, there was never any question about his 
passion. Charlie Kane had the enthusiasm and creativity to always find 
a way to get his job done to serve Bucks County. Madam Speaker, there 
was no challenge too insurmountable and no case too difficult for Mr. 
Kane. He was a man that the community could rely on.
  Mr. Kane will always hold a place in our hearts. Our community must 
embrace the passion for helping others that Charlie exemplified. Even 
in this time of sadness and mourning, we must see Charlie and his work 
as an inspiration. Madam Speaker, Mr. Kane's efforts on behalf of Bucks 
County residents will have a lasting impact and his legacy will be that 
of a man who dedicated his life to helping others. Madam Speaker, I 
thank the other Members of Congress for joining me in celebrating the 
life and accomplishments of Charles Kane.
