Marie,sorry it took so long but Bud just gave me this link(i guess my e-mail changed)Just the other night some of the "JKD" got together because not only were we missing Rick but his passing brought us together.As I told you before Rick was a big brother to me,He knew my family and when I was goin to trade school and broke Rick took care of me.I remember one time we went to some seafood joint and he introduced me to raw oysters(o yeah) or going to a chinise restaraunt and ordering "ginger beef" and "Root beer" caus it was Bruce Lee's favorites.I miss him so much.When I go on facebook I always look at his pictures.Please let me kkow if you need help with anything.

I am greatly sorry for your loss.

I have just recently heard about Rick's passing. Sifu Rick was my instructor in the early days of the Kali Academy and made a lasting impression on how I view the martial arts. I am sure that he made a significant impression on other people's lives as well. He will not be forgotten.

Canning family,
Words can not express How sad I am for your loss. Rick was an outstanding person, friend and very fun guy to be around. Our old training days of the IMB are memorable to say the least. My prayers go out to you Rick, your beautiful family and friends.

It truely hurts to hear about the passing of Rick. Although it's been a while since he and I have seen eachother, I was blessed to have had an oppotunity to connect with him just before his passing. Rick and I trained together back in the good old days. In fact we share some great memories of having fights inside and outside the ring. Luckily Rick was on my side during those brawls outside the ring. We were also demo partners at several of the demos thrown by the IMB Academy. We certainly shared some good times and great laughs. I can't explian how much I'll miss him. He made a lasting impression in my life and I will never forget him.

He was an excellent martial artist as well as one of the best instructors I have had in the art of Kali. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. As the senior instructor here at the Kali Academy, I just want you to know that we are here for you should you need our help. God Bless you and your family

Mary Ann, Christine, Richard and Michael,
It is with great sorry that I express my sadness for the passing of your loved one Rick Canning.
The news came as a absolute shock to me, I had just seen him about a month ago.
Rick was a close and true friend of mine ever since he was a young teenager. He was one of the best students I have ever had the honor of teaching
Rick Canning, I will never forget and I will always remember his smiling face.
and I will never forget him.
If ever in need call me at anytime>>>>>
Bless the Canning Family>>>>>
I sincerely hope you and your children are in good health at this time of sorrow.

After having heard so much about your great husband and dad, I finally got to spend some time with him at the last Eagle Scout recepetion. You were all right - a wonderful man. When I see you, I see him, his humor, talent and drive. I wish Henry and I had the chance to know him further, but we shall, through you.
