So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with the family.

Our condolences to Scotts family on your loss. God bless all of you . Matty Shaughnessy and family.

So sorry to hear of Scotts passing. He always treated me with kindness when I worked for the Cannon Family. May he rest in peace. Him and Rick must be having quite the time catching up over a good scotch.

To the entire Cannon family my wife Dee & I would like to share our condolences with the remaining members of Scott's family. Scott and Canco Fire Sprinkler were long time customers of our business (New England Reprographics) when my wife & I owned it. Scott was always professional and we often talked about local happenings when he came into the shop to drop off or pick up plans. Scott always had a smile to share. I would attend the service but we have unfortunately moved out of the area.
