Dear Mr. Gannon, even though I know you are in Heaven with God and your beloved son, Michael, I just wanted you to know what a wonderful man you were. A special Dad to my best friend Susan. She loved you dearly. And a great role model to Kristen and Jimmy. You will be missed by many. And as you always said "Alice Gallen from Little Flower".

THE best Dad a daughter could have. I feel so lucky to have had him in my life and to be a part of his passing. They 'threw away the mold' when they made William Gannon. Love you Dad. xo xo
