This warmed my heart. 

I am loving this outpouring...but who is Meredith Patterson? And Amber Skye?

Loved the one from Jess Walton.

According to IMDB Meredith was n AMC in 2009 and gL in 2007

 

Amber played Matthew's GF, Michelle on OLTL in 2013

Says she played Francesca, but I'm having a hard time recalling that character.

I wasn't a regular viewer of All My Children, but I knew of David Canary from his numerous Daytime Emmy award wins.

The look back at the lead actor/actress winners (starting at 1:10:25) is a bit sad to watch now. 11 lead actor/actress winners are no longer with us (David Canary, Charles Keating, Jeanne Cooper, Al Freeman Jr, James Pritchett, Irene Dailey, Larry Haines, Val Dufour, Michael Zaslow, Macdonald Carey, Douglass Watson).

 

All My Children star Julia Barr — who worked with Canary for many years as his on-again, off-again wife — has also spoken out about Canary's passing, exclusively to SheKnows: 

"David Canary was my TV soul mate! I could not have asked for anything more in an actor or a fellow human being. He was the essence of kindness, a gentleman and my years of playing 'Brooke' to his 'Adam' were a joy! We were all blessed to have him in our lives," Barr said.

I hate to be nit-picky, especially under these circumstances, but the article says Canary was with AMC throughout its entire ABC run.

I remember the Palmer tribute and they had that woman crashing the wake to talk about what a great dancer Palmer was.   Did they even know each other, why was she there?

...umm, are you talking about Erica?

No of course not.  The woman who was saying Palmer made her feel like he liked her.  Babe's mother I guess because there is literally no one else on the show who had such an annoying accent.

The best of the best is gone. David Canary, great actor, terrific gentleman, kind, considerate and funny. I will always miss him. So sad. :)

NPR had a short piece on him

This is one of those times I really wish ABC had not crapped on AMC. DC did not get the send off he deserved..

 

For once, I saw the value in Twitter, with so many of his former colleagues expressing their grief.
