The former coxswain for Ramsgate's RNLI branch died on Sunday, January 7, following a period of illness.
A service will take place at St George’s Church, Ramsgate at 1.30pm tomorrow for all who wish to pay their respects.
A spokesman for Ramsgate RNLI said: “This will be followed by a service for family members only at Thanet Crematorium.
“The family have asked for no flowers but have requested that anyone wishing to make a donation to either Ramsgate RNLI or the Pilgrims Hospice, Margate, in Ron’s memory, can do so c/o Twyman and Holmes, 42 King Street, Ramsgate CT11 8NT stating to which charity they wish to donate.”
Mr Cannon was a crew member on Ramsgate lifeboats for 37 years, and served as coxswain for 25 of those.
