Edward J. Cannon

My deepest sympathy to the Cannon family for your loss. Ed was an amazing father figure to me. He may have been a small man physically but he was the size of a grizzly bear in strength, kindness and heart. He taught me "hustle" and fortitude. He gave me my love for basketball, boxing, football...all sports in general. He was stern but fair, composed but cool and was always positive and believed in you. He always made me feel better than I actually was...which turned out to make me better...

Dad, I'm going to try to be like you...I'm trying...I dont know if you can hear me sometimes...Is it always daytime there? I'm watching the Phillies. I miss you. Your grandsons start school tommorow at Palmyra...wish you were here...love you Dad

Mr. and Mrs. Cannon, to two of the most wonderful people I have ever had the chance to know and also to work with. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

I was sad to read of Ed's passing. Ed was one of the best men I have every known. I was blessed to have known Ed. We had allot of fun playing basketball and vollyball at the old Hershey men's club and at St Joan of Arc. My prayers are with the Cannon family.

Ed was a wonderful friend and neighbor,,and never had a bad word to say about anyone. He will be sadly missed.
Our Condolences to his wife and family.

Ed and I went to St Joe's high school in Ashland and we played on the basketball team together. Recently we played in the same golf league. He was a great guy, a good basketball player and an avid golfer. I will miss him.
