G. Gibbs Kane ’30

THE CLASS REGRETFULLY reports the death of Gibby Kane on Dec. 19, 1992, at Crosslands, Kennett Square, Penn. He was born in New York and attended Horace Mann School, where his athletic prowess and dramatic talent became evident. In college, he was a member of the varsity water polo team and the Triangle Club. He roomed with R. P. Barden, Erik Bamouw, Samuel Perry, and E. A. Steimle, and joined Cloister Inn, where he became manager. After graduation, he was a distributor of oil products for the Sinclair Oil Co. and British Petroleum for 45 years.

He was a wholehearted man of the outofdoors, a keen fisherman and birder, both here and in Europe. He and his wife were enthusiastic travelers. As an ardent countryman, he developed with joyful zest his beloved "Bamboo Bend," especially his many varieties of roses. He was a specialist in Dixieland music, a consummate dancer, and a "natty dresser,"

Gibby was a kind man who spent himself generously on drives for such causes as the American

Heart Assn. and the Boy Scouts. He was a true and loyal Princetonian, but managed to forgive his daughter "Boots" Tolsdorf for marrying a Yalie. "Old Nassau" echoed at the funeral of this fair and honest man. In the words of his daughter, he was a "truly consummate gentleman."

In 1933, he married Rosamond North Alioth in Rahway, N.J. They had two daughters, Cynthia and Meredith (Boots). To them, a sister, his grandchildren, and a greatgrandchild, the class extends its deepest sympathy.
