Simonds Fire Chief Ralph Gordon Kane passed away on Thursday. Fire captain Bill Peacock says he knew Kane for 20 years, and that whoever fills his shoes is going to have to do a lot of walking.
Peacock says that if the measure of a man is what you're willing to do for others, Kane's stock would have been invaluable.
Kane joined the Simonds fire department in 1980. A reception will be held at the Simonds Fire Hall on Tuesday afternoon following Kane's funeral at 12:05.
