I have known him since I was hired as a co-pilot with Frontier Airlines in 1963. I was one the the SLC bunch for many years and learned so much form Dave. I consider him as a great teacher, mentor and good friend. I will miss him so much and will keep his family members in my prayers. Sincerely, ~ Alan Harris October 08, 2012 I had many 580 trips out of SLC with Dave as well as 727/737 trips out of DEN. He will always be one of my favorite pilots and admired his integrity and respect for the cabin crew. My condolences goes his family. ~ Joy Potter-Trudeau, Parker, British Columbia October 07, 2012 "The kindest, gentle giant of a Captain I was privileged to know at Frontier. He set the example, and we tried to follow." ~ John and Chris Heimburger - Houston October 07, 2012 To the family of Captain Dave Cannon, I am sad to learn this late of Dave's passing. I have great memories of him from my first memories as a child to when I flew as his co-pilot at the historic Frontier Airlines. During WWII, Dave was the Army Air Corps liaison to my father's CPT schools training pilots and mechanics for the military. He loved telling the passengers and crew via the PA that he used to change my diapers! That aside, he was one of the Best I flew with and one of the greatest human beings I've ever known. If you would like and e-copy of the photo I have of Dave in WWII drop me a note: BillyWalker@cox.net You are so right about his amazing story-telling abilities. All of us who knew Dave have some really wonderful memories of this fine man. ~ Billy & Cheryl Walker, Ahwatukee, Arizona October 07, 2012 It was always a pleasure to see Dave at the Frontier airlines reunion in Salt Lake City. Always fun to talk to and hear his stories. I will miss seeing him at the reunion. He was a well liked pilot for Frontier and it was always good to see him in the left seat as we knew the flight would be on time. A great man and he will be missed by many. ~ Paul Farris, Lowell, Arkansas October 06, 2012 All Dave's many friends at the old Frontier Airlines are saddened to hear of his passing. Our condolences to his family. ~ Jake Lamkins, Fayetteville, Arkansas September 14, 2012 Miki and Piper: I know that your father enjoyed the love and support which you have given him over the years. May you continue to hold that love bright each time you think of him; and may you be sure that it is alright to think of him, and your memories of him, each day. May you have great comfort in the sweet memories you have of him ~ John Basinger, Cottonwood Heights, September 12, 2012 Miki, an eloquent, moving tribute to a handsome, sweet-natured elegant man. Uncle Dave and your mother were the beautiful couple whose company my father and mother loved to share. We mourn the passing of the last of Grandmother's children, and Ann and I extend our love and appreciation to you and your family. ~ Tony Cannon, La Canada Flintridge, California September 12, 2012 Miki and Piper. Your eloquent description of your father/grandfather provides me with insight as to why I will always consider you as friends. From great men, come great children. My heart and sympathies go out to in your time of grief and reflection. ~ Rick Dunford, St George, Utah
