John A. Cannata

I worked with John for over 20 years at Subaru of New England. I've grown along with him from his drumming days with Liquid Kaos to his recent hobbies of watching NASCAR and fishing down in Rhode Island. He was kind and caring, and had the amazing ability to get along with everyone. Though no words can adequately describe just what a great guy he was, it's the thoughts and emotions that live on with all of us that will keep him in our hearts forever. I'll never forget him, and I think of him...

John was not only a great friend to me, but to many people. He was an all around good person, and an awesome drummer. The songs that he wrote with us will stay with me forever. We're going to honor your memory, my friend, with a special show for you on Friday, June 8th at 8 PM at the Midway Cafe.

You will always be remembered,
Mike (Liquid Kaos)

Wow! I just found out -- I can't believe it! I will surely miss you, your drumming and that laugh of yours.

Your Friend,
John (aka - Mike's cousin)

What i'm gonna miss most about John was his incredible laugh. I worked with John for 5 years and he treated me like a younger brother. Anytime i was down or just needed somebody to talk to John was there. I was a kid when i started at Subaru and John was the first adult that i could just talk to about anything. He was the coolest. I will never forget you brother. Keep on ROCKIN' Jimmy

John... I can still see your smiling face now. We will miss you at Subaru. Our years there (all 18+ of them) fly by fast. You were a quiet person, but so very nice and friendly, and such a pleasure to know and to work with. You will never be forgotten and will always remain in the hearts of your friends...

JC, what can I say about such a great and true friend. You are one of the few people in life who actually enjoyed it. I have been thinking back to when we first met down behind Healy field pool and just clicked right away. I remembered how you & I use to love going to sleep over you dad’s house and go over to the bowling alley and play games all night. Life was so simple! After reading the entire posting before, you touched everyone the same way in life you ever meet. You will be sadly missed...

Keep on rockin GOD REST One of the good guys. ED&Sherry

When I was hired at Subaru, they said John and I would get along great. Both of us being drummers and music fans,they were right. However, John would get along with everyone. I'll miss his conversation and musical insight.

John was a good friend of mine and will be greatly missed. I played in bands with John for many years and there was no one better at the drums. John was a solid man who never said a bad word about anyone. May God welcome him with open arms.
