Paul M. Kane, age 82, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, August 22, 2013, at home in Newark, DE with his loving wife. Paul was born in Elkton, MD on August 30, 1930. Paul was the son of the late Bernard and Earlene (Simpers) Kane.
After serving his country in the United States Air Force, Paul worked for 30 years with Chrysler. Paul was an avid baseball fan, and he diligently followed the Orioles and the minor league IronBirds teams. Paul enjoyed bowling with friends, and was a big fan of NASCAR and his favorite driver, Jeff Gordon. It was not uncommon to see Paul sitting in his recliner repeatedly watching NASCAR re runs on the television. Paul will always be remembered fondly by his friends and family as having a “big attitude in a little body.”
Paul is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Olie Jean (Grubb) Kane, of Newark, DE; daughter, Donna J. Owens and husband Richard of Middletown, DE; grandson, Jerry A. Johnson and wife Ericka of Wilmington, Delaware and their daughter; sisters, Ruth Shelly of PA, Earlene Nesbitt of Rising Sun, MD, and Dorothy Warner of Charlestown, MD.
In addition to his parents, Paul was predeceased by his brother Bernard (Peanut) Kane and his sister Frances Green.
A service will be held in Paul’s honor at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, August, 29, 2013 at R.T. Foard Funeral Home, P.A., 259 E. Main Street, Elkton MD 21921. Friends and family may visit one hour prior to the service beginning at 11 a.m. Burial will follow at Gracelawn Cemetery, New Castle, DE.

My condolences go out to Richard and Donna and Aunt Olie Jean, my heart is heavy today as i just got the news. I remember all the birthday parties that he attended and always had a smile on his face at all times, I don't think there wasn't a time that I seen Paul that he didn't have a smile. He will truly be missed by everyone he was a Kind, gentle, good hearted person that will never be forgotten. I AM FREE Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free I'm following the path God laid for me I took His hand when I heard Him call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks undone must stay that way I've found that peace at the close of the day. If parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me, God wants me now, He set me free Love you all. Carrie Grubb Ayers
