Rest in peace, Mr. Canty. You were one in a million. I loved every visit I made to your store, and the help you and your son offered us over the years was of inestimable value. A man of his word, who's word was bond, Mr. Canty represented a man out of time, he was far more than the current times deserved.
Heaven better watch out, Mr. Canty is a coming and he's gonna clean that place up!!!!!

TO THE CANTY FAMILY:
Please accept my condolences at the passing of your loved one.
I remember Mr. Canty very well; going into his store and having conversations with him. I even remember him telling me how he wanted his daughter to marry my nephew.
We laughed together and talked. I have nothing but good memories of him.
Rest in peace, Mr. Canty.
