"This past month has been very difficult for myself, my family, and especially my Dad," he wrote on 21 August. "A couple weeks ago my brother Andy unexpectedly passed away.
"Then, late last night my dear sister Chaia peacefully passed away in her sleep due to lung cancer. Andy has always been such a strong influence in being so lovingly optimistic. I have NO bad memories of Andy. Neither does my Dad."
Cannon also wrote about his sister adding: "Chaia was never bothered by fear and was so positive and faithful. She loved her family and had a great love for animals. Anytime Chaia was around, we were happy."

Larry adopted Andy in 1962 after marrying his mother, Alene Akins. The couple then had Chaia together a few years later.
