Martin (Marty) Thomas Cannon, Jr.

I met Marty in the writing class at the Community Center but what impressed me more than his writing was his character. He was a good and honest man. He spoke his mind and told some of the best stories I've ever heard. I only knew Marty through the writing class but I can truly say that he was very impressive and gentle kind man. I will miss him, his kindness and his patience and his love for life, his love of knowledge and his love of people.

Martin was one of the very best men I ever knew...so full of love and generosity. He and Katherine together were pillars in our lives too! They were mentors to Bernie and me when I was in grad school and acted as hosts and surrogate parents at our wedding. Our time in Cincinnati together was so special to us. Martin and Katherine treated us like family. I had never before experienced an older man who really listened to me and who spoke with me with respect. What an impression that made! He was such a kind, engaged, intelligent, capable human. Martin, your legacy lives on in all of us whom you have touched. Thank you.

Marty and I met at P&G. He was first my boss and later leader of a fact-seeking task force in which we partnered. Marty was my mentor, my guru, and my dear friend. M.T.C. was wise, always open to new ideas, new strategies and facts. He was also a demon in pursuit of truth. His integrity, straight talk and love of family showed in all he spoke or wrote. He was a person with which I could inmost thoughts. Hope be with him again someday.

Love you brother. Already miss your phone calls

I will always miss you big brother , Charles

We will miss you, Uncle Marty. Your laughter will never be forgotten.
Keeping the family in my heart and thoughts.
With Love, Christine Cannon-Fulton and family.
