Robert P. Kane

Robert P. Kane of Hull, formerly of South Boston and Quincy, passed away peacefully in his home on November 19, 2024. He was beloved husband of 57 years of Maureen (Hanson) Kane of Hull. Loving father of Robert P. Kane, Jr. of Quincy, Erin Ward and her husband, Patrick, of Marshfield, Christine Kane of Hull, Marylynne Strachan and her husband, Craig, of Beverly, Matthew Kane of Hull, and Sarah Kane and Jon Galvin of Squantum. Son of the late Thomas F.

Cherished grandfather of Brendan, Dylan, Brady, Wrenn, Mayla, and Liam. Mr. Kane also is survived by many nieces, nephews and dear friends.

Mr. Kane was proud U.S. Army Veteran, retired member of Local #17 (54 years) of the MBTA, and lifetime member of Furnace Brook golf club. Mr. Kane was an avid golfer and bike rider and could be seen rollerblading the length of Wollaston Beach in the warm weather and walking Wolly in the freezing cold. He was always available to any neighbor who needed help fixing anything in their home.

Most of all, Mr. Kane was a man of faith who spent his last days with his rosary beads in his hands. He loved Jesus and our Blessed Mother. He was a loving, caring husband, generous Dad, proud grandfather, and loyal friend. He will greatly be missed.

Visiting hours were held on Monday, November 25, followed by a funeral Mass in St. Mary’s Parish in St. Ann’s Church on Tuesday. Burial was in Cedar Grove Cemetery, Boston.
