Joe was part of the Gortletteragh team that won a Leitrim title in 1970 and represented his county at inter-county level.

He went on to become a key figure in Mullingar club St Lomans.

His son Aidan played for the club and captained Westmeath to an All-Ireland Under-21 title in 1999.

Joe Canning is survived by his wife Rose, his sons Aidan and Derek, daughter Orla, grandchildren and extended family.
