To the Canfield family, I want you to know how deeply sadden I am, and feel for the loss of your beloved John. It warms my heart to know he was surrounded by such a wonderful and loving family. I remember 8th grade at Sacred Heart and my graduation pool party. You loved to tell the story of my dad being in the pool and all the guys trying to tackle him. You called him "Bufford" from "Walking Tall" from that moment on. Whether it was on the football field, in class or at the Junior/Senior show you always approached everyday with dedication and fun. He will always be remembered as "Canners" to the class of '79. I believe that we are all better people for knowing him, and allowing us to share a part of his life. With a smile on my face and love in my heart, Michael Jacksons song says it best "Gone to Soon"

Angela, John Jr., Justin and Kaleigh,
As my family approaches my dad's 5 year anniversary of him passing I cannot help but think of you. I wish I had words of wisdom or healing but nothing fills the void. May you always know that others know how you feel and they are there if only to lend a shoulder to cry on or a ear to listen. God bless all of you and don't ever think your dad is not with you. He will be there with every step you take. You will see him again someday.

I had just transferred to CCHS and I really did not know anyone. It was the first day of football practice (1977). I was standing on the corner of 5th ave and Hoosick St. (with my gear) waiting for the CDTA bus when a beat up old car pulled over. John leaned out the back seat window and asked me if I wanted a ride. I got in next to him and were friends from that moment on. I smile every time I think about it. I will always feel lucky to have been able to call John Canfield my friend.
I am living in Indiana now and so I apologize for not having been able to properly pay my respects to the Canfield family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Gob Bless.

To John's family,
I graduated from CCHS with John in 1979 and was sad to learn of his passing. I will remember how his smile could light up a room. He had a sweet spirit about him. My hope is that his family now finds the peace that passes all understanding that can only come from above.

To the entire Canfield family, Angela and children,
I grew up with John's family in "Albia" as well as CCHS, and have such fond memories of him and his sister, Tina. I was both shocked and heartbroken when I read this obituary.
After reading all these entries, I see that he remained the kindhearted, loving and caring person I knew as a child and in high school. I too remember that Heartbreak Hotel rendition!
Angela, I cannot tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I lost my mother-in-law to cancer and know the pain you are feeling. As a way to ease the sense of loss, I told my children that when the clouds are pink, their Nanny is filling those clouds with her love for them. I'm sure she wouldn't mind sharing those pink clouds with John.
You, your children and the entire Canfield/DiBacca families will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Dear Angela,John,Justin,& Kaleigh, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband and Dad. Everyone in this world would be so blessed if they knew just one person in their lifetime like John and were lucky enough to call him a friend.
As "Elvis" would say- "I did it my way" and thats how John lived. He did it his way,
with courage,strength, compasion, love of his family and kindness towards everything and everyone he met. Whenever he came into the gym he always made me laugh and you could see the love in his eyes when I would ask and he would tell me how his wife and kids were doing.
Angela, your husband and childrens father was someone to be proud of, I know John will still love, protect and watch over his family as your personal guardian angel. I have known your family since John jr was a baby and I will miss John dearly but don't you be a stranger, you and the kids keep in touch. God Bless!

It is with deepest symathy to John's family as I'm writing my personal memories of John at this time. I graduated with John from CCHS in 1979, but I didn't know him well. We only spoke a few times in the halls and in a few classes. John was known as "the big man on campus" - Absolutely gorgeous, with a killer smile. He was so extremely talented, in sports especially, but he shocked us all with his rendition of "HeartBreak Hotel" at our Junior show. I will always remember John in that moment, and smile. Reading the notice of John's death was a complete shock to me as well as the entire Class of 79. As a class member, I am extremely proud of the boy I once knew and of the Man he became. To Johns family, may you hold many happy memories in your heart always.

Angela & Children, Canfield Family and DiBacco Family. There are no words I can say that will ease your pain. If I could I would write a book. I pray that when times get tough you will remember the wonderful husband, father, son, brother, son-in-law, brother-in-law, uncle and incredible friend we were foutunate to have in our lives. Year's can go by it cannot change a friendship. Anyone who has had the opportunity to know John and his family will certainly agree with that. I am grateful John was able to attend the fundraiser at the Lansingburgh Vet's Club. I am sure he was proud to see all the people that loved him. God Bless.

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. John was such a comfort to us last year with Frank's passing. You all did so much for us. If I can do anything, please let me know. I loved John like a son and will miss him dearly.
