Sad News: Francis Cannon Passes Away
I was informed by Gerard Cannon this evening that his uncle Francis passed away yesterday. Here is is full message:
Hello Cormac,
I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news , however, Francis Cannon died yesterday evening. As you know he’d been diagnosed with cancer a year or so ago and he’d been vigorously fighting the disease throughout that time. Sadly, he unexpectedly took a very bad turn on Sunday and was rushed to Whiston A&E . He was admitted onto a ward and was really well looked after by hospital staff, however, he left us at 8:30 or so yesterday evening.
Throughout his short stay in hospital he was surrounded by loved ones and was supported by their love and the many prayers that were offered up on his behalf.
It would be great if you would mention his passing on the Murphy blog (perhaps somebody has already spoken to you in any event) and ask the family if they could think of Agnes, their children Sarah, Andrew, Emma and Josef and their ten grandchildren. Not forgetting my dad, Marie, Kitty and Robbie.
My dad is still in poor health and is deteriorating, however, he is in very good spirits ( I had a good old gab with him yesterday evening when Kitty and I had a break from hospital).Rhodri and I went to the match on Sunday , we met up with Robbie, Irene and Paul and bumped into Paul and Ian McKay in the street near the ground, and so I was able to give my dad some footie stories which he enjoyed
Anyway will sign off if you want I’ll keep you updated with events, such as the funeral details.
God Bless
Gerard
May He Rest In Peace

Dear Fran:
Desmond and I remembered you at Mary Pender's apartment in September 2007. We had returned to her home after the funeral to sort through papers. There on the shelf in her living room was the clock you had given her as a present in 1961....ticking away !
With fondest memories,
Jim Herlihy
God Bless Francis.
