Dan Kane quit his job in Arizona and joined his daughter Darin Freeman in Tampa, Florida, full-time, he said.
Kane and his wife Tiffany moved in with Darin Freeman, her husband Josh and their children.
The Kanes live upstairs in a loft-type of area of the home, with a bedroom and bathroom — and Tiffany Kane noted that at times, it’s a good escape space for them from the household activity.

"It’s amazing how well it’s worked out and how well I’ve gotten to know my grandkids and son-in-law a little better," he added.
Josh Freeman grew up in a four-generation household, he said.
He noted that he loved being so close with his family.
