The soul of devoted believer Al Cannon Took flight easily and peacefully on January 21, 1997, after many years of service to the Faith in Bolivia, Puerto Rico, and Oregon.
While preparing to pioneer in 1971, Al made his pilgrimage to the Holy Land. En route back to Oregon, he stopped in London where he met Manigeh Shimyace. He later married her, and they pioneered together.
After seven years on the pioneering front, Al returned to the United States. By 1993 he was ready to pioneer again, and he settled in Mexico. His term of service there was short, and he returned the following year. However, as late as October 1996, at the age of seventy-one, Al was making plans for an extensive teaching trip.
