• I received this message from Wendy Paquin: 'Jim Kane's Mom passed away last night in her sleep. She had been suffering from cancer for about a year. Dot Kane was an absolutely amazing lady with a life story that could launch a best selling novel. She was a salesclerk at the Woolworth's in the beach area of Toronto until the day they closed their doors and was a proud supporter of Jim and his brother Bill and granddaughter all marching in drum corps. Visitation will be July 1st @ Giffen-Mack @ 2570 Danforth, and her service on July 2nd at 11 am at the same place. Dot what a lady RIP'
