I'm so sorry that none of the Cannon clan was able to get back to Chicago for Bob's services. We'll all miss his big heart and unswerving loyalty to our family. (Not to mention his homemade glug!) Bob was a great, selfless guy and a tremendous friend to our father, Bill Cannon, for many years. Without Bob, Bill's photo business, Photomatic, simply wouldn't have lasted as long as it did. Bob was always there to support Bill and to offer his valued advice. In Bill's waning years, when he rarely left the house, Bob & Cleo's weekly visits to play rummy with him really kept him going. Rest in peace, big guy. You were one of a kind.

Will always have many fond memories of "Mr. T". From the Indian Guide days, to Luther League and 16" unlimited arch softball leagues, sing-alongs and poker games. You will be missed, Mr. T!
