Roger Forand - The GOAT

Memorial Tribute – Roger Forand (RIP)

Roger Forand was more than a father, mentor, and hard worker — he was one of the foundations of Kane’s Auto Sales.

Roger played a vital role in helping his sons, Adam and Chris Forand, turn a dream into reality when Kane’s Auto Sales was first getting off the ground. From day one, he gave his time, energy, and unwavering support, helping guide the business through its early years and beyond. His belief in his sons and his willingness to step in wherever needed helped shape Kane’s into the strong, respected dealership it is today.

For more than 14 years, Roger worked alongside his family, doing everything from the big jobs to the smallest details that often go unnoticed — yet make all the difference. Even after stepping into semi-retirement, Roger could still be found every morning making sure the team was motivated, doing things the right way, running Massachusetts registry trips, or handling the everyday errands that keep the wheels turning.

Roger’s work ethic, quiet leadership, and dedication left a lasting mark on Kane’s Auto Sales and everyone who had the privilege of working with him. His presence will always be felt, his lessons remembered, and his legacy carried forward through the business he helped build and the family he was so proud of.

Rest in peace, Roger. You will always be a part of Kane’s.

Samantha Bidwell - Office Manager

6034256315 - Sam@KanesNH.com

If something at Kane’s Auto Sales gets done, there’s a 99% chance Samantha Bidwell did it — and the other 1% is only because she was fixing three other things at the same time.

As our fearless Service Manager, Samantha somehow manages schedules, diagnoses mystery noises, keeps the crew in line, soothes stressed-out customers, answers phones, wrangles paperwork, finds missing tools, and still remembers where everyone left their keys. She truly does everything under the sun… and probably some things NASA hasn’t even discovered yet.

Need a repair explained? She’s your person. Need a miracle? She’s also your person. Need someone to remind you your car’s been ready for three days? Yep — Samantha’s got it covered.

Around here, we say Kane’s Auto Sales runs on two things: gasoline… and Samantha Bidwell’s Red Bull and pure spite.
