Joe Cannon was a true son, brother, soldier, husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He was also a friend and part of our family since we were born. He was respected far and wide, and I'm so blessed that he was part of our lives. His voice was soft, his knowledge vast, his wisdom solid. We all loved him, and I shall miss him. I wasn't close in proximity, but in my heart, he was ever present. Whenever I would call Bev and Joe, he would get on the phone last. I would say goodnight, and I love you. Joe would always answer Love you too dear. And I knew he meant those words. I am so sad for the loss your family is going through. There is no loss. Like that of a parent...they are the only people who have loved us, all of our lives, from the very beginning. And the great loss for his lifetime love and partner, Bev. We grieve with you, and love you like the family you are, and always have been.
Love Trish (Meharg) Edelman
