Not sure what to say?

Remembering Your Dad today and the Clinton Legacy in Lansing. He was our own "Dr. Huxtable." And of course, remembering your beautiful mom.

Dr. Canada was my early mentor on the North Regional Board of Dentistry. He had the wonderful balance of true professionalism tempered with a heart of gold. He will be missed not only for what he did, but especially for the values he held and taught by his wonderful life. John Mullally, DDS Muskegon, MI

Dr. Canady and I had many good times while serving together on the MI Board of Dentistry. He was very influential in my growth as a professional and was instrumental in supporting me as the first Dental Hygienist to serve as Chair of the Board. I will truly miss him and remember him as a great friend that loved to enjoy life with everyone.

To Alan and the entire Canady family I want express my deepest condolences. So very sorry about your loss. May God be with each of you.

My dad, Frank Thonger, lived right across the hall from Doc. They had a friendship for the short time they were neighbors at Burcham Hills. We visitors (daughter and son-in-law) were glad to have met Doc and enjoyed our interactions with him. We are sorry for your loss, and we hope your memories help to ease some of the pain of his passing.

Dear Canady family,
I have just this week learned about the passing of your dad, Dr. Canady. Although I live in Pennsylvania, I have often asked my parents "How is Dr. Canady?" He was my first dentist and an excellent role model in the community. I thank God for your family and their impact on bettering our community.

My prayers and condolences to the Canady family.

My condolences to the Canady family. I met Doc in his senior years, and it was a blessing to have known such a positive, and uplifting person.

Clinton,
I can think of no man who contributed more to increasing opportunities for Blacks and other minorities in Lansing than Doc Canady, and none who I loved and repected more. May God comfort you and your family in the days and years to come.
