Dear Janeth and the Ted Cannon Family:

My family and extended family send you our very best wishes on the passing of Ted, your husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

We have wonderful memories of him and Janeth and his parents from our childhood. My own parents felt very close to your family because of the close family relationships and also because of the daily interchanges with the Salt Lake Stamp Company. We remember the legacy of Uncle Ed and...

Dear Cannon Family,
On behalf of our family, I want to say thank you for many years of friendship. Your family taught my family many values and you were most generous to our parents during their years at Salt Lake Stamp. The values have served me well over the years. It goes far beyond business and we appreciated all you did for us. Ted was a good mentor when I spent those summers going through all the old “time stamp cards” on the second floor at SLS. He always had a kind word, and...

I loved having Edwin Cannon and his family as neighbors when I was growing up on Aloha Road. They were always there if I needed help, I was always welcome in their home. I remember Mr. Canon was always nice to me. I wish his family the most heart-felt condolences.

Cannon, a good example of a good Christian man and secondly a good...

Pres. Cannon with Elders Peterson, Brunson, Ricks, Kunz & Florence and Sisters Berret & Pyatte, circa 1973

It is with deep sadness to learn of President Cannon's passing. For two years, he was my substitute father while I was serving in the Swiss mission. He was a loving individual, a godly man and a good example.
I remember, when I was having difficulties, he and Janath invited me to visit them while they were serving in the Nauvoo Mission (Nauvoo Restoration). They helped me sort things out. It was also an opportunity to get to know them on a more personal level. I will always cherish that...

Dear Janeth and family,
What a wonderful life of service the two of have led! You have been a great example of dedication to the Lord's work. Marge and I have appreciated knowing and associating with you, as well as Bill and Marge for over 50 years. We send our love and condolences. We are sorry that we are not able to visit you in person.

Dear Cannon Family,

We extend our love and respect to this wonderful family. We have learned so much from the dedicated service of the entire family. Brother Cannon's service was the foundation of that example. We frankly have been treated like part of this great family are are grateful for the friendship that has been extended to us over the years; particularly Russ and Shelley and in recent years Tim and Melissa. We are unable to greet you in person as we continue to serve...
