Patrick J. Cannon
STAMFORD _ Patrick J. Cannon, 64, of Stamford, passed away at A.O. Fox Memorial Hospital, Oneonta, on Sunday, Nov. 2, 2008, following a brief illness.  Pat was born Aug. 23, 1944, in Albany, son of Raymond and Ann Cannon. He attended the University of St. Bonaventure and earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Ithaca College. He attended Albany Law School and was admitted to the New York State Bar Association in 1972.  Pat practiced law at Jacobs and Jacobs, Esqs., of Stamford for many years. Additionally, he served as confidential law clerk for the New York State Supreme Court under Honorable Justice Robert Harlem. From 1992 until 2000, he served as the Delaware County Chief assistant district attorney, a position he truly enjoyed. One of his proudest professional accomplishments was successfully arguing a Fourth Amendment case before the New York State Court of Appeals. Their decision was later challenged and was ultimately presented to and upheld by the United States Supreme Court.  Pat was a selfless and loving husband, parent, and grandparent. His greatest joy in life was spending time with his wife and best friend, Anne, his children, and his grandchildren. He was adored and admired by his family and will be greatly missed. Despite his ever hectic schedule, he never missed any of his children’s games or school events, and most recently took great pride in watching his grandson Kevin’s Little League games. He also dearly loved his dogs, Archie and Seamus.  Always a devout Catholic, Pat dedicated time to teaching religious education and serving as a eucharistic minister. He was a proud member of the Sacred Heart Chapter of the Knights of Columbus, serving as Advocate for the chapter. He also spent many years as president of the Catskill Mountain Little League.  Pat is survived by his wife, Anne; daughter, Heather and son-in-law Tim Clark, of Stamford, daughter, Katie of Stamford; son, Brian and daughter-in-law Kimberly, of Poughkeepsie; son, Patrick and girlfriend Nichole VanHoesen, of Stamford; three grandchildren, Kevin, Emily and Reilly; two sisters, Kathleen Ciarico and husband Mike, of Rochester, and Maureen Carline and husband Joseph, of Yorktown Heights; sister-in-law, Grace and husband Jim Tierney, of Albany; nieces, Christine Huff, Katie Wallace, Betsy Carline, Michelle Tierney and Amanda Tierney; and two nephews, Joseph Carline and Michael Tierney.  Pat was predeceased by his son, Kevin Patrick Cannon.  Friends and relatives are invited to call from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, 2008, at the Hall-Tari Funeral Home, Stamford.  A Mass of Christian burial will take place at 11 a.m. Friday, Nov. 7, 2008, at Sacred Heart Church in Stamford. A reception will follow at the Sacred Heart Parish Hall.  Contributions may be made in his name to the Stamford Fire Department, 111 Main St., Stamford, NY and the Christmas Feeling Fund, 108 Main St., Stamford, NY 12167.

Delaware County (NY) Courthouse Gets Free Wi Fi

Pete Nowacki, chief techie for the 6th JD has asked that the bar be informed that the Delaware County Courthouse now has free internet wireless service.

All that is needed is a laptop with a wireless card.

However, there is no tech support.
