Hank Canitz hasn't added a story.
Henry Canitz was an exceptional music educator who shared his love of music to all he met. Henry taught in the West Allis / West Milwaukee School District for 26 years. He founded and conducted the Milwaukee Pops Youth Band for 38 years and he led the West Allis Suburban Band for 21 years. Henry also led an annual summer band camp and took his concert and jazz bands on trips to Mexico, Jamaica, Hawaii and numerous US locations.
Henry passed away on December 14, 2015 at the age of 85 after a long fight with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
Many of the students he influenanced over his 50 years of teaching pursued careers in music. Just as a pebble thrown into a still lake causes expanding ripples, Henry's love of music which he passed onto his students continues to ripple outward as those students pass on that love to their children and students.
This memorial fund will allow Henry to continue to help young musicians pursue their dreams of becoming music teachers by providing an annual collegiate scholarship.
Please share this compaign with all your fellow music lovers and all that had the privilege of being taught by Henry.
