January 7th, 2020 – Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter joined with Islip Councilman John Cochrane, at the Eagle Court of Honor for the Councilman’s son, John C. Cochrane, V. The Eagle Scout project consisted of plantings around the submarine torpedo memorial at the Bay Shore Marina, a plaque honoring the USS Thresher and the USS Scorpion, and two benches, one dedicated to the memory of Daniel J. Kane and the other donated by the Bay Shore Lions Club.

Daniel Kane was a long-time Bay Shore resident and owner of Bay Shore Beer and Soda. He was the beloved husband of Pearl Kane for over 40 years and a devoted father of 5. His eldest child, Marlene Johnston, is the aide to Councilman Cochrane.

“This was a very proud moment for our family,” said Councilman Cochrane, a retired Navy Captain. “John identified a project that enhances the community, and also pays tribute to the men and women of the Navy,” said the Councilman.

Also in attendance was NY Senator Phil Boyle; Assemblyman Andrew Raia; Suffolk County Legislator Steve Flotteron and Councilman James O’Connor.
