ROBERT KAHN
aka ROBERT "BOB" KANE
October 24, 1915 - November 3, 1998
"GOD bestowed a dream upon
Bob Kane. Blessed with divine
inspiration and a rich imagination,
Bob created a legacy known
as BATMAN.
"Introduced in a May 1939
comic book, Batman grew from a
tiny acorn into an American Icon.
"A 'Hand of God' creation,
Batman and his world personify
the eternal struggle of good
versus evil, with GOD's laws
prevailing in the end.
"Bob Kane, Bruce Wayne, Batman--
they are one and the same. Bob
infused his dual identity character
with his own attributes: goodness,
kindness, compassion, sensitivity,
generosity, intelligence, integrity,
courage, purity of spirit, a love of
all mankind.
"Batman is known as 'the Dark Knight',
but through his deeds, he walks in the
Light of a Higher Power, as did his
creator--Bob Kane.
"Beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather.
In Loving Memory"
