State Auditor Rob Kane, a former longtime state senator from Watertown known for his easygoing manner in the state Capitol and his banter with other state employees, died unexpectedly Friday.
Few details, including the cause of 53-year-old Kane’s death, were available Friday night.
“Rob Kane was a great guy with a terrific sense of humor,” said Len Fasano, the former Senate minority leader who served with Kane. “He was always dedicated to the institution and service district extraordinarily well. I’m going to miss his routine phone calls, his humorous texts.”
