Yesterday

Dr Cannon and I decided to heal the world´s problems by discussing what needed to be done. His goal was to treat the whole patient by discovering what one´s personal life involved. I am so hard hit by his death. We called ourselves friends and shared our interest in "frogs". Rest in Peace, Dr. Cannon. You are sorely missed.

Condolences to the Cannon Family & Cooper Care Alliance at Brace Staff. Met this medical blessing May 2025 for the 1st time & he changed my trajectory in 1 visit. Had great visits after that. Appts were proactive, progressive, informative, & loved that he embraced technology. I will miss what we created together in improving my health in 1 visit, he listened to you like no other accepting my input as well. He was uniquely witty & full of humor, a truly sharp dude. Rest easy Dr. Cannon

Yesterday

I am heartbroken and sadden to hear about the passing of Dr. Cannon. He was my doctor, a great friend, and client of our accounting firm. As his patient he kept my diabetes under control and saved me from significant issues with my feet. It was always a pleasure to see him for my appointments and interact with him on a professional and personal level.

Dr. Cannon was a brilliant trusted physician and a wonderful person. He always treated my wife Darlene and I as if we were family. It was a privilege to have known him and we will never forget him. This is a major loss to the medical profession.

Our sincere condolences to May and the Cannon family. We will sorely miss him.

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of my favorite Dr. Anthony Cannon. I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and referred to this amazing doctor over thirty years ago. I moved to Delaware and remained his patient. Dr. Cannon became like a father to me with his words of wisdom and concern for his patient´s. I will never forget him.

Expressing my condolences to Tony´s family. I feel blessed to be Tony´s colleague and friend. We served together on the local ADA Advisory Board and would call each other to exchange ideas. His passion for the welfare of patients and the community was unmatched. He spoke so eloquently but his legacy will live through his actions and work to promote diabetes care for so many. He was a truly wonderful person!

I have known Tony professionally for nearly 20 years, had the pleasure to call him a colleague for the past 10 years, and the absolute fortune to share a cubicle with him for the past 4 years. Up close, he was just an amazing individual-a true one of one. Every day, every patient, every case was the most important and exciting case he had ever seen. We could go back and forth for days (if not weeks!) about his favorite or most complex cases.
I have never met another colleague who opened himself up to his patients as much as Tony-routinely welcoming personal calls and messages directly from his patients. But it was always done in an effort to provide the care that he knew each and every one of his patients deserved!
Losing him definitely leaves a large void in our endocrine community. However, through his example, his enthusiasm, his teaching, we know that his impact will be felt for generations to come.
May you rest in peace...

Tony Cannon was an inspiring doctor, a singular mind and a renaissance man who had interests in a vast range of topics. He was one of the people who made me think, when I talked to him, 'I will never be as smart as Tony Cannon.' He was a role model for what a physician ought to be and I'm sure inspired generations of students and peers to join him in his intensity and enthusiasm in everything he did. I am truly saddened by his passing.

Dr.Cannon was my Endocrinologist for 10 years. He was a brilliant doctor. I was shocked to hear that he had died. He would always explain my test results and
listen when you had questions and try to help you do better next visit. He was kind and caring and very funny. When your appointment was over he would say now go and make me look good! That makes me smile now. My condolences to the Cannon family may God´s peace be with you. He will be missed dearly by me and I am sure many others.

I am so very sorry for the loss of Dr. Cannon. My family followed him from office to office and the distance never mattered. If it wasn´t for Dr Cannon´s unwavering dedication this healthy baby girl whom is now six years old would not have been here. He took excellent care of my daughter while she was pregnant. She is type 1 as well as hypothyroidism. He´s also taken care of me, my husband, and three of our daughters. He always said that my oldest child and her pregnancy gave him grey hairs. He was truly loved by our family and are extremely broken hearted for his family and friends. He will never be forgotten.

I am simply speechless. My heart is broken and just in complete shock. I have only respect and gratitude for Dr. Cannon, he is the type of person and doctor that is needed in the healthcare industry and the fact that he genuinely cared about his patients is just another reason why is was just a phenomenal person. God blessed us (his patients), family and friends with such a dynamic and unforgettable being Family my prayers go out to you in your time of grief and know that he will always be there with you in your heart.

To the Cannon Family,
I would like to express my deepest condolences to your family. I was shocked to hear of his passing. I have known Dr. Cannon since he was a physician at the Willingboro Hospital, and I later became his patient. He would always talk to me about work and politics, and always wanted to know what I was reading. He was a very caring and compassionate person. I will miss him dearly. God bless you, Dr. Cannon, and may you rest in peace!

Dr. Cannon was always full of joy when he would come in the office. When I 1st met him at Jefferson, he told me that he was going to fire me as a patient if I didn't get myself together that was in 2019. I've been riding with him every since, because he actually took the time to learn me as a person and not treat me like a patient. He cared for us like we cared for him. Dr. Cannon you will truly be missed.
To the Cannon Family, please accept my condolences..

Dr.Cannon always spent time answering all my questions. He was amusing and entertaining especially when explaining issues that manner to him such as his office or expressing his opinion of weight loss medications on Twitter. I pray for his family and friends. I will miss interacting with him during our appointments.

I was so sorry to hear of Dr Cannon´s passing. I had the privilege of working with him in the Willingboro-BMA office back in the mid 9O´s & early 2000´s. He was a super smart Dr & expected a lot from his staff but we learned a lot from him & loved his personality. One of my favorite memories is when he would tell us what to tell a patient, what medications to call in & would end his conversation with us with "make me look good". I also remember his love of cars & that he would have a guy detail his car right in the parking lot at the office. I´m praying for his family & friends at this difficult time.

I had the honor and privilege of spending a month with Dr. Cannon in April 2025 as a medical student rotating with him in his office. He is the most brilliant physician I have ever known and he will deeply impact me for the rest of my life. Never have I worked with a doctor who taught me so much, printed me so many articles to read, or walked me through decision making like he did. I have also never laughed so much on a rotation. I will be pursuing endocrinology as my career and I can only hope to continue his legacy in the field he was so endlessly passionate about. May his memory be a blessing and give strength to those close to him.

My sincere condolences to the family of Dr Anthony Cannon. I have known Dr Cannon for over 40 years as he was my daughter´s endocrinologist. Then I became his patient 25 years ago when I became a diabetic. We always regarded him with such respect for his dedication and outstanding knowledge. Dr Cannon went over and above in helping me understand the ups and downs of my
diabetes and overall health.
Rest in Peace Dr Cannon. You will be sorely missed.

I'm so saddened by the passing of Dr. Cannon. I have been a patient of his since 2009 and he was by far the most compassionate doctor I've ever had. He listened to all my concerns at every appointment and we spent just as much time talking about current events as we did about my health. He always asked about my family and helped me navigate the grief of losing my mother to breast cancer last year. I'll never forget the first time I went to see him at the start of my journey with Graves' disease back in 2009 and he was so excited because I had the most extreme symptoms he'd ever seen and he promised me he'd be able to manage my condition...a promise he kept for 16 years. I will miss the "smiley face" or "frowny face" he'd always give me after every appointment depending on how well I was doing at the time.

To his family - My most heartfelt condolences for the loss of this incredible man and doctor and thank you for sharing him with us. I only knew him as his patient, but he always treated me with the utmost care and respect and for that I will always be grateful.

I´m not someone who usually posts on guestbooks, but in this case, I felt it was necessary. Dr. Cannon left a lasting impression on me, and I want to share just how much he was respected and appreciated.

In just one visit, he offered me light and reassurance during a time of uncertainty. His exceptional bedside manner, combined with his genuine compassion, steady confidence, and remarkable intelligence, made it easy to trust him. He had a way of putting things into perspective that brought real peace of mind.

It was clear his work wasn´t just a profession-it was one of his many passions. Talking with him, you could tell he truly loved what he did, and that he treated helping others as more than just a job.

To his family-please know his impact reached far beyond his practice. I´m sure this is just one of many heartfelt messages honoring the difference he made in people´s lives.

My sincere condolences to his family. Dr. Cannon was my endocrinologist for several years. Dr. Cannon was very about passionate about his patients. He literally saved me from myself. I will miss him. He was so informative with his conversations when my husband and I would come into the office. Dr. Cannon spoke on several occasions for the Winslow Township Brown Bag Luncheon for the senior citizens, that my husband was over. He presented so much info for them. He was a God send. I recommended my church members, neighbors and colleagues to him because he truly helped me; and they were all so happy because he truly helped them. I would tell them he was the best endocrinologist in town. He certainly blessed me. Sincere condolences and prayers that God will strengthen and comfort you at this time. Dawne and Virgil Carman
