Age 81, of Scott Township, on November 23, 2018, passed away peacefully with his family by his side. Beloved husband of Mary Louise (Byrnes) Kane of 56 years. Loving father of Karen (Joe) Figura, Robin (Chip) O'Neill, and Danielle (Pat) Camp. Loving grandfather of Morgan (Mike), JR, Kailey, Casey, Connor, Austin, Delaney, and Marie.

For more than 50 years, Bob worked in the pressroom at the Pittsburgh Press/Post-Gazette, where his wife Mary Louise first caught his eye during the 1960 World Series celebration. Bob was an avid bowler with 3 perfect games under his belt and a die-hard Pittsburgh sports and Notre Dame football fan. In the neighborhood, he was widely known as the local "Mr. Fixit" who gave a friendly wave from his perch on the driveway wall to all who passed. Bob also enjoyed spending time with his siblings and extended family (especially when a card game was involved), he shared his passion for softball with his 3 daughters during his many years coaching teams in Scott Twp., and he found immense happiness spoiling each of his 8 grandchildren.
Bob will be sadly missed by many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and, friends. All received 5-8 p.m. on Monday, November 26, and 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday, November 27, at BRUSCO-NAPIER FUNERAL SERVICE, 2201 Bensonia Ave., Pgh., PA 15216. Mass of Christian Burial at St. Simon & Jude Church on Wednesday, November 28 at 11 a.m. Burial to follow in the National Cemetery of the Alleghenies with full military honors. In lieu of flowers, donations given to the family will be gifted to Bob's wonderful caregivers of UPMC Family Hospice.
