“Terry”

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal.  Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

-From an Irish headstone-

J. Terrance "Terry" Cannon of Bountiful, Utah mercifully passed away on May 30, 2015 due to complications brought on from Alzheimer's disease.

Born  December 31, 1935 to Maurice Cannon and Ora Elizabeth Wallwork of Ogden, Utah.  He was raised in Worland, Wyoming from the time he was two years old.

He graduated from Worland High School in 1954.  He then attended Brigham Young University and graduated in 1965 with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.  He married Josephine Goodrich on June 4, 1963 in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple.

Terry loved the scouting program and was a life-long scouter.  He served in the West Spanish American mission which included parts of Arizona, California, and Mexico.  Twice he served in the bishopric of the Bountiful 30th Ward.  He worked for almost 35 years as an electrical engineer with Utah Power and Light, and CC&E Engineering before retiring.
