Msgt. Buddy Max Cannaday

To my Dearest Dad:

It has been one month now that you have been gone. My heart hurts more with each passing day, as if that were even possible.

Hunter played Taps for you as we sadly said goodbye, and later confessed how nervous he was. But he proudly did it because of his love for you. I know you gave him courage that day.

And Ella asks for you everyday. I didn't realize the bond the two of you had until a couple of weeks ago. Every flag you see is "Grandpa's flag" and...

Max
I will forever miss you. We were together for 46 years. You have made those years happy one, you have given me three beautiful children and three wonderful grandchildren that miss you very much. One Grandaughter that goes around singing about you living in the flowers. We love you and miss you very much. your loving wife.

My husband & I both knew Buddy from working with him at LOF. We are praying for your family during your time of grief.

Shannon, Kelly, Hunter and Ella - our love and sympathy for your loss.

I worked for many years with Buddy at LOF and remember him fondly. My prayers go out to your family during this time of loss.

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family in your loss. May you find peace knowing that he will not have to suffer any longer.

Shannon and Melba,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Even though I didn't know Msgt. Cannady, I wish I could have talked to him and told him how much I appreciate his heroic efforts in Vietnam. How blessed we are all to have Hero's like him. God bless and keep you. Hero's like him are so few and far between.

My prayers are with you this day. In reading about your loss, I felt very proud of Buddy, even though I did not know him. My father was a Msgt. with honors and a Vietnam vet as well. He passed 6 years ago from cancer caused from Agent Orange. Please accept my gratitiude for his service to our country and my condolences.
