He was devoted to his family, especially his wife Susan of 52 years and his three sons: Brian Cannone and his wife Donna of Bridgeport; Richard Cannone and his wife Susana of Monroe; and Bret Cannone of Bridgeport. He was the cherished grandfather of Ryan and Justin Cannone, and Evan and Lilah Cannone. He was predeceased by a brother, Robert Cannone and a sister, Michele Cannone.
