Ralph Cannoy, quality control officer, passionate fisherman
After 33 years as a quality control officer for the Ashland/Valvoline Oil Co., Ralph M. Cannoy retired seven years ago and spent much of his time doing what he loved best: fishing.
Mr. Cannoy, 70, died Friday at his home of a heart attack.
He had a history of heart problems since a heart attack about 10 years ago.
A native of Winchester, Mr. Cannoy grew up in Frenchburg in Menifee County and served four years in the Air Force, including a stint in Korea during the Korean War.
He left the service with the rank of staff sergeant and then attended Morehead State University, from which he graduated in 1956.
He moved his family from Louisville to Northern Kentucky in 1967 after he was transferred to work at the Ashland Oil plant on River Road in Cincinnati.
The family settled in Florence, where he was active in the American Legion and Masons.
"He was a member of American Legion Post No. 4 (in Boone County) and served several times as an officer in the post, " said one of his daughters, Susan Cannoy Newman.
"He was also a 32nd-degree member of the Masons, the Scottish Rite and a Shriner."
Mrs. Newman said her father liked to play golf in his younger years.
Later, his main passion was fishing, which took him to many local ponds and streams, Mrs. Newman said.
Other survivors include his wife, Phyllis Morgan Cannoy of Florence; son, James Cannoy of Florence; another daughter, Rebecca Cannoy Parker of Florence; sister, Roberta Daws of Nashville, Tenn.; and 10 grandchildren.
