A pioneer in the Alaskan fishing industry, Lloyd Wynell Cannon, died January 19, 2010 at Virginia Mason Hospital in Seattle of liver and lung cancer. He was born in Mudlake, Idaho on June 3, 1930 and, as a teen in the 40\'s, worked as a commercial fisherman with his dad in Kodiak, Alaska. Following graduation from Mount Baker High School in Bellingham, Washington and service in the Navy, he returned to Kodiak, married his wife, Patricia and raised his family. Together they built a thriving commercial fishing business. Lloyd was a hard-working Highliner in the salmon fleet and an early innovator in the crab industry. A larger-than-life man, he rode the waves of many firsts in the industry, helping to establish national and international legislation. An astute businessman, he worked closely with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game to enhance understanding of the fisheries bio-cycles leading to productivity of his fishing operation. Along with seven other fishermen, Lloyd (as president and CEO) founded All Alaskan Seafoods, which grew to become one of the largest fishing companies in the Northwest. Under Lloyd\'s leadership and tenacity in working with the U.S. Government, All Alaskan Seafoods became one of the first U.S. companies to forge a business partnership with a fishing company from the former Soviet Union, thereby teaching them the principles to become competitive in the world market. Lloyd and this highly successful company received many awards and recognitions for its achievements in business and developing relations between the United States and Russia. With all of these business achievements, his real legacy lies in the love of family and friends. He was fiercely devoted to family and strove to make our lives happy and successful. He taught life lessons and inspired respect in others. He was able to listen to the true nature of people. Papa\'s storytelling abilities will be sadly missed by his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Alaska was in his heart and soul; he loved her natural beauty. He was preceded in death by his son Michael (age 16 in 1968); his brother, Jerry Williams; his father W. A. Cannon; his mother, Barbara Williams; and his wife, Patricia (2007). He leaves behind daughters Carolyn Wood (Robert) of Wenatchee and Susan Longley (Larry) of Stanwood; grandchildren Angela Rairdon (Greg) of Woodway, Heather Roundhill (Elton) of Woodway and Sean Wood of Snohomish; great-grandchildren Mackenzie Rairdon, Madelyn Rairdon, Maeghan Rairdon, Cassidy Roundhill, Connor Roundhill and Skyler Wood.  He leaves his sister Jeanine Keplinger and brother Bill Williams (Bev) of Bellingham. Also left behind are his many cherished and beloved nieces, nephews and faithful friends.   In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society.
