Lake Shore Volunteer Fire Co.
AACVFA Past President

Ronald F. Kane, Sr., passed away on October 28, 2021, at the age of 83.

Ron was a Life Member of the Lake Shore Volunteer Fire Company.  On the administrative side, he served as Secretary to the Board of Directors.  On the operational side, he served as Lieutenant and Captain. 

Ron served as chairman of the Executive Board for the Anne Arundel County Volunteer Firefighters Association.  He then served as Second and First Vice President and then President for 1969-1970.  Ron regularly attended the annual Past President’s dinner held during convention week in September. 

Ron was employed by the Baltimore City Fire Department first as a firefighter then as a Lieutenant.  He had 27-years of service with six commendations when he retired on disability in 1987.  Ron was also a Korean War veteran.

Throughout the years, Ron could be found volunteering at his children’s schools, very vocally coaching and cheering for his own children and many others in the area, and supporting whatever activity his children and grandchildren were involved in.   His most important role however was that of Pop to his grandchildren. He was always there to cheer them on and provide his advice and support when they needed it most. The values, traditions, and memories that he instilled will stay in their hearts always.  Ron was affectionately known as "Mr. Ron" by many in the “dena”.  He will be remembered for his love and support by his Rink Family as well as the many "kids" that he coached and mentored throughout his life.

Ron was predeceased by his wife Vera.  He is survived by his daughter Kelly and his son Ron as well as four grandchildren and other family members.
