I was in a CIvil War Round Table group with Col. Cannava. Most were men who had served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam all of us enjoyed history and learning more. He was intelligent, friendly and built up those around him as well as an astute and able business man. He will be missed for all those reasons and more.

To the Cannava,

So sorry to hear about Col Cannava. I worked with Col Cannava at Fort Chaffee. I was a good fried to Larry and Bobbie Bass. Blessings to your family.

I met Tom 10 years ago. He helped our company through his management of a building in Tennessee. He was a landlord who was fair, predictable, and understanding of business needs. He was passionate about his hobbies and life in general. Through his work and knowledge he made a difference in the lives of many in Tennessee long after his military service ended. You don't meet many men like him in your life, and my life was made better by having met him. I know he is smiling in Heaven looking down at his legacy on Earth. Sincerely, Don Louis, Retired CEO of CoLinx LLC.
