Charlie Canniff, Millsboro, DE—Charlie Canniff passed away on November 12, 2023, after a long and courageous battle with cirrhosis of the liver. He was a respected veteran and a cherished member of his community. His passing has left a deep sorrow in the hearts of his loved ones, particularly his wife Janet, who stood by his side throughout his illness.
Charlie was diagnosed with non-alcoholic cirrhosis in the summer of 2023, following a period of illness while living in Florida. Despite medical treatment and a later relocation back to Delaware, his condition worsened, and he reached end-stage cirrhosis. After a series of hospital visits and attempts to manage his illness, including weekly procedures to drain accumulated fluid, Charlie’s condition became unmanageable. Hospice care was called in, and he spent his final days at home, surrounded by those who loved him.
Charlie was a veteran, and while the VA will cover his interment at a Veteran’s Cemetery, they do not provide funding for funeral home expenses or cremation. His wife Janet is now left to shoulder these costs, along with ongoing day-to-day expenses. A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to help with the medical and cremation bills, with a donation of $10 raised so far.
Charlie’s memory will live on through the love and support of his family and community. He is remembered as a man of strength, courage, and kindness.
We are deeply saddened by Charlie Canniff’s passing and extend our thoughts and prayers to his family during this difficult time.
