I am so sorry to hear of Nick's passing. I live in South Carolina now, but many years ago the Noble family lived across the hall from my family in an apartment building in Chicago on Artesian Avenue Nick was just starting his career and sometimes I could hear him singing. I visited Patsy and her sister often. I kept track of his career until we moved to SC. kindest regards and prayers, Barb Jacobs (Art, Sis, Sue)

I am so sorry for your loss.
I wanted to share a memory with your family.
My father was a coach at Hirsch High School. One of his favorite stories was how the famous Nick Noble had dislocated his shoulder during either practice or gym class. My Dad popped it back into place. He said that's why Nick sang so well!!
Mr. Noble and my Dad met years later at a School function. Mr. Noble, being a classic gentleman, again thanked Coach for fixing his shoulder.
I'm sure the Coach is waiting at Heaven's door for one of his most famous students.

Our heartfelt and sincerest condolences on Nick's passing. Nick was one of my father's closest and most trusted friends. He was so special to all of us, our entire family. He was a giver, the kindest of men..even helped and supported Dave with his singing. We dearly loved him and we are devastated that we did not hear of his passing until today. Pat, Connie, and Debbie..I send each of you my love and deepest sympathy.

Sending sincere and heartfelt sympathy to Nick's wife Pattie, his daughters, Connie and Debbie, grandchildren and relatives for your loss.
Nick was truly a special man. I knew him to be kind, thoughtful and sincere. JCP said he was a man's man and considered him the dearest of friends! I am happy to have met Nick and I remember that he was quite surprised that a youngster such as myself, would also know him to be a GREAT SINGER, VERY TALENTED (and indeed handsome) when he first called our office and I, as a new employee, answered his call in 1991!
I'm happy that he was blessed to have a wonderful wife and family to carry on his legacy of kindness and goodness.
He certainly lives on in the hearts of friends, relatives and family that knew and loved him! JoAnne Timke Messina

This is Julia Neville's mom. (She knows Debbie.) When I was 13 or 14, "Hello Out There" was a big hit. I loved it - knew all the words, sang along, and thought it was just beautiful! What a small world. Sorry for the family's loss. Mary Neville

I am so very sorry to hear of Nick's passing he had a great voice. I often looked for Nick when I made infrequent visit's to Chicago. The last I saw him was at the "Glass Hat " at the Congress Hotel. We go back to the wonderful day's of when the MGR.of the Oriential Theater, Morris Kahn led us in performances via USO and he was a great influence to me as a young man at Hirsch Hign School
