Kane ‘55D died June 3, 2017, in Palm Harbor, Florida. He came to MMA by way of Boston College. Bob or “Killer,” as he was affectionately known, was an independent and eccentric soul, enjoying the freedom of life. After a career at sea as an Officer in the U.S. Navy and in the Merchant Marine he retired to an adventurous single life living with his two dogs in a mobile home, which had originally been a “Yellow School Bus.” He loved watching the races at Daytona, Florida, telling stories about his interesting deeds about flying groceries to exotic Caribbean Islands, and misdeeds with mysterious ladies he had known. For years he spent his summers touring Canada and his winters appreciating the more temperate weather at Fort De Soto in St. Petersburg, Florida…. Enjoying life in the shadow of the Sunshine Bridge, Bob had an artistic flare, a positive attitude and a quick sense of humor. Not having a family, few people were aware that he became crippled by a hip replacement operation gone bad at the Bay Pines VA Hospital. His condition became so bad that he could hardly get around, but he remained in good spirits until he suffered a totally debilitating stroke. For the past 6 years Bob spent his time at various Florida Assisted Living Facilities, Nursing Homes and Palliative Care Hospitals. His end came when he finally wound up as a terminal patient at the Hospice Facility in Palm Harbor, Florida. Bob was 86 years old when he passed.

Grand Turk was first settled in 1681 by Bermudians, who started a salt industry. In 1766, the Island became the territory's capitol, Cockburn Town. It has the second largest population of the archipelago with 3,720 people. There are those that believe that it was here that Columbus first set foot in the America’s, and although San Salvador is still accepted as being the actual island where he landed, there is convincing evidence that this may not be so. For years Grand Turk was frequently referred to as Grand Cay. Grand Turk gained attention in 1962, when John Glenn's Friendship 7 splashed into the Atlantic Ocean, off the southeast shoreline of the Grand Turk Island. A replica of the Friendship 7 is on display in Grand Turk at the entrance to the Grand Turk Island International Airport.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Captain Hank Bracker" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/captain-hank-bracker/grand-turk-island-is-so-named-because-it-is-the-largest-island-in-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8c0/captain-hank-bracker-47159_astronaut_grand-turk-island-is-so-named-because-it_302268.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8c0/captain-hank-bracker-47159_astronaut_grand-turk-island-is-so-named-because-it_302268.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8c0/captain-hank-bracker-47159_astronaut_grand-turk-island-is-so-named-because-it_302268.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Grand Turk Island is so named because it is the largest island in the Turks Islands, which is the smaller of…” — Captain Hank Bracker", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“After endless cajoling, rationalizing, ego stroking, and outright begging—all to no avail—Isa decided that what Marco didn’t know wouldn’t hurt him.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Margarita Barresi" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/margarita-barresi/after-endless-cajoling-rationalizing-ego-stroking-and-outright/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/296/margarita-barresi-65488_1920s_after-endless-cajoling-rationalizing-ego_2615787.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/296/margarita-barresi-65488_1920s_after-endless-cajoling-rationalizing-ego_2615787.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/296/margarita-barresi-65488_1920s_after-endless-cajoling-rationalizing-ego_2615787.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“After endless cajoling, rationalizing, ego stroking, and outright begging—all to no avail—Isa decided that…” — Margarita Barresi", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/caribbean-history/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/caribbean-history/", "name": "Caribbean-history Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/caribbean-history/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/c03/captain-hank-bracker-the-excit_caribbean-history_eight-bells-robert-j-kane-55d-died-june_208703.jpg" }, "description": "Browse 3 Caribbean-history quotes by 3 authors.
