So many great moments…my mom working at the store. Playing that crazy hockey game Rob had (never won a game I’m sure haha) at the house in the store. Many a fun moments at the New Years events with Davis, Tweddles……and there was Bob always thought he was so cool and calm no matter what crazy stuff we all got up to. He did so many things for Caledon East I cant recall them all, but I do know this we where a better town for it.

My very best wishes to you all.

Our Sincere Condolances
Shirley; Hellen ,& Steve ;Robbie & Barb ; Julie & Bruce . Have known the Cannon Family for many years, through the store, and many other events in Caledon East. Remember all the great times as a Family . Roy & Edna

It seems like only yesterday that we’d invade the Cannon home on a Saturday night to watch hockey (among other things). Bob and Shirley were always far more tolerant of the shenanigans than they needed to be.

The one thing that we remember the most is Bob’s Jack Russell Terrier. Bob would be doing the store books in his office at home, open the bottom desk drawer and the dog would hop in and sleep there until Bob got up from the desk. That memory is one of the reasons we now have a JRT (although he’s no where as well behaved as Bob’s).

Our thoughts are with all of you.

Dear Shirley
Our minds and hearts are overflowing with love and sympathy for you and yours as you deal with the loss of such a great guy. Bob always contributed so much to St. Andrews and we will always remember the fun putting up the tent , BBQing and always accompanied by his beloved Eddie. You were such a team and we are part of your cheering section
With love,
Eldon & Norma

Our sincerest condolences to the Cannon family and friends at this most difficult time. We were very sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. We enjoyed Bob’s friendship through our association with the Caledon East United Church. Sandy will miss Bob’s friendly advice on electric bikes. Bob will be greatly missed in the Caledon East community and surrounding area. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time.

We’re sorry to lose a great friend and good neighbour. May God’s blessing be with him and those who knew him.

Loved reading all of the wonderful words expressed about my Uncle Bob! Some of you captured him so well.
I remember him as a kind, loving man who could always be seen with a smile. He was cheerful and had an almost carefreeness about him which probably helped him fight so hard. I will always think fondly of him and know how much he meant to his family and community.
Hard working, generous person who thought of the well being of others first. You will be missed, but what a legacy you have left behind.
Love to my entire family.
Natalie

Heart felt condolences to all of you and take comfort in all the memories shared with friends and family.

Our sincerest sympathies to Shirley and family. Bob will be very much missed by many.

I remember Bob’s friendliness and extra care about his customers when he ran the general store. We moved up here in 1967 and my mother Catherine shopped at Burrell’s from the very beginning. Quite often Bob would personally deliver our groceries to our house. At the time it amazed me that he could provided such wonderful service.

He was kind, always friendly, and a cornerstone of the community.

My thoughts are with you at this sad time. Shirley, you have a lovely family, Bob will be truly missed, he was such a gentle man. Take care of each other.

To the Cannon family
My deepest sympathies to Shirley and family . There are no words that make you feel better only the love of families and friends that surround you at this difficult time.

Sorry for the loss of a husband, father, grandfather & great grandfather. Bob was a man of Caledon and will be remembered in the history of our Town. His participation and interest in many local organizations proved his worth and it will be a loss to them as well.
Take care!
Jean Proctor & family

Dear Shirley and Family,
We first met Bob almost 30 years ago when we were newcomers to Caledon having just moved here from the United States. Didn’t know a soul in Caledon, but we were instantly made to feel a part of the community with our first steps into Burrells when Bob greeted us with that special smile and a welcoming hello. Such a good man – he will be greatly missed. Our heartfelt condolences.
Carol & Larry Kidd

When Paul and I moved to Caledon almost 40 years ago, Bob and Shirley’s store was one of the first places where we felt so very welcome. When we met with difficulties, our family experienced the Cannons’ kindness, generosity and support. Always admired, never forgotten.

Sincere condolences, Maureen & (the late) Paul LaLonde

Rest in Peace. May it be your portion to hear from Him “Well done good and faithful servant”.

Dear Shirley & Family,
A lot of very fond memories “at the store”, Caledon East and of course the Fire Department.
Bob’s accomplishments were many for the “village” and surrounding communities.
We hope your memories and pride of Bob’s achievements will help you through this difficult time.

I was saddened to receive the news of Bob’ passing upon my return for up north. Bob was always such a pillar in our community and gave of his heart and soul at all times. May your memories of your many years together and happy times, bring you strength in the difficult days ahead. He always had a sparkle in his eye and a keen interest in the life around him. He will be missed by all of us who had the opportunity to share times, friendship, responsibilities and ideas with him.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family, Shirley. Bob was one of those people always involved in our town. An icon in the community!

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Bob. He was an amazing man in every way. When my father had his heart attack he was one of the volunteer fireman that came to his aid. Will never forget shopping in the store in Caledon East. May he rest in peace.
