Not sure what to say?

I am missing you and so honored that I had the chance to know you.

I had Mr. Canning for science. He was a good teacher. May God be with his family and give each one the comfort and peace needed during this difficult time!

Jean Lazarus Littiken

Colonel Doug was a real American Hero having served his country in three of its conflicts to insure our freedoms were preserved. The longevity he enjoyed allowed many of us to know and appreciate him as an individual and value his contributions. His Legacy places him in history as a military hero and a citizen of the greatest nation in the world.

I have many fond memories of Doug at gatherings of the Yamamoto pilots. He was a good friend of my father, Rex Barber. With his passing another page on WWII history is turned. God bless the Greatest generation. Fly safe Doug.

To the Canning family, please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your dearly loved Douglas. May the many fond and happy memories always warm your hearts. And may the loving prayer with a promise found in Matthew 6:9-13 give you some peace and comfort during this difficult time.

My heartfelt condolences to the family. May you continue to cherish the memories you have and remember that God is there for us like it tells us 1 Peter 5:6,7. I hope you continue to feel the love and support from your family and friends.
