Not sure what to say?

Dick was a true friend and sponsor of the world famous Dick Cannon Three Wall tournament(and host of the equally famous post tournament party). Possessor of a great lob serve and a ready smile. We will miss Dick. Bob Hunter

Mary and Family, Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you. Had some great times playing handball. Bill & Mary Seman

Mary and family, very sorry About Dick. Certainly remember many great times and handball games.

Mary and family: We are very saddened for your monumental loss. We fondly remember Dick for his wit, friendliness and family values. God bless!

To The Cannon Family:

My sympathies and condolences on his passing. He was quite the character and was seldom at a loss for words. He will be missed.

I enjoyed playing handball with and against him, until he gave up the game. He was quite the competitor and was as tough as nails.

I will miss his candor and pragmatism. He always seem to know what to do. May he rest in peace.

To the Cannon family: I remember your dad from the motocross races. He always seemed like a guy who enjoyed life and always had something witty to say. He will be missed. We are so sorry for your loss.

Dick will be missed by all who knew him. He was quick witted and a truly decent person. He cast a very long shadow for me. I had first met Dick at an estate sale some 25 years ago and we remained freinds ever since. We had many a good laugh together. There will be a big hole left in the collecting community here. I hope the garage sales are good in heaven as he is likely at one right now .

Here's to hoping there are Flea Markets, Auctions and Garage Sales in Heaven. Godspeed Dick. You will be missed. Say hey to my Mom and Dad for me. Love, Kris

I will miss Dick Cannon. He helped me with my Ebay when I was just getting started. I would also see him at the swap meet.. A good friend. He loved his family. Dick looked forward to planting season in Illinois.
