I was secretary in Guidance Office working for Mr. Noyes. I loved that man - what a sense of humor. I have also talked to him while at Bethany, as my mother-in-law is there. He talked very highly of his children. So sorry for your loss.

To all the cousins - My Uncle Bob was a family legend for his sense of humor and practical jokes. We didn't see him often enough, but just the thought of him was enough to make us smile. Having lost my own father a few months ago, I know that life will seem different to you now that he's no longer here. But I hope that you'll find peace in cherishing the good memories. With love -

I too had Mr. Noyes for a Guidance Counselor. He was always very gentle and of course would shake his head in bewilderment when I tried to make him laugh. I liked his deep laugh so I tried real hard! All in all, I'm sure he will be missed, but be assured he touched many kids lives.
God Bless!

I was most fortunate to have Mr. Noyes as my guidance counselor at Ernie Davis and then again at EFA. Who could be more blessed? I thank God for placing him in my life at such a crucial time in life (the teenage years). He was truly an inspiration!! Thank you God for sharing this great man with us. I am sure he blessed everyone he came in contact with.

I worked with Bob at EFA in the Guidance Department. He was a great person to work with and very concerned about his students.

Bob was a volunteer with Hospice and helped me and my family with the death of my wife Peggy.

Thank you Bob

I also remember Mr. Noyes from ernie Davis, but more recently at Bethany. He would come out to the field to watch my kids play soccer. Always made me smile. Remember, he'd say, "that's noyes- N O Y E S" To pass w/respect and leave smiles on ones face - that is a life well lived.

I was fortunate enough to know Bob both as a student and as a colleague. Bob cared about students; it was his passion. He was a grand example of how those in education should conduct themselves. I will always remember Bob for his 'corny' sense of humor and the jokes that he told. I laughed at all of them because they were not just 'corny', but because Bob could build up to the punchline. Thanks, Bob, for being my colleague. You will be missed but not forgotten.
