Funeral services for Mr. Alan R. Kane will be held on Thursday the 4th of February, 2010 at 11 a.m. in the chapel of Pafford Funeral Home with Rev. Harold Hopper officiating and burial to follow in Lexington Cemetery.
Mr. Kane was born July 8, 1944 in Kalamazoo, Michigan to the now deceased Olin and Edith King Kane. He excelled at the University of Indiana obtaining his B.S., Masters and Doctorate degrees. In addition, he was a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces having served in the Navy. A philosopher once said, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” Alan’s chosen vocation as a timber buyer for over 25 years with the David R. Webb Lumber Co. as well as his hobbies of hunting and fishing echoed his great love for the outdoors and this sentiment perfectly. Notably, in his lifetime, he was instrumental in the planting of over a half million pine trees.
Mr. Kane is survived by his wife of 21 years, Mrs. Tracye Kane of Lexington; Tracye’s son, Greg McComic and his children, Justin McComic and Allie McComic Boshers and her husband Chris, all of Lexington; his two brothers David Kane of Michigan and Olin Kane and his wife Maile of Durango, CO; his two nieces Ilima Kane of Denver, CO and Malia Pima and her husband Chris of Seattle, WA.
Inspired by Alan's love for the outdoors, the family requests memorials be directed to the "Arbor Day Foundation" as there could be no more of a fitting tribute than to have a tree planted in his honor.
