Noah Anglin Obituary
1938 - 2017
Resident of San Jose
Noah L. Anglin, II (Jr.), passed away peacefully at Stanford Hospital on early Saturday, March 18, 2017 at the age of 78 with loving wife Mary Anglin and family by his side. He was the son of Noah and Olivia L. Anglin, and brother to 3 siblings. Noah was born in Frankfort, Kentucky on July 4th, 1938.
Graduating from the University of Kentucky in engineering, Noah was selected by the exclusive IBM Tool & Die Internship Program which led him to California working for IBM and later OCI, Verbatum, Atari, Simutrek, Exidy, and P.F. Magic. Noah co-invented the Skeet Ball Game machine for Chuck E. Cheese; devised patents for Poqet Computers - the beginnings of "palm computing" – and Vodafone - the cutting edge of early e-commerce. Over this span, Noah had over 20 ground breaking patents that have helped define what Silicon Valley is today.
Along the way, Noah adopted a Panda, named Blondie (You-You) in China. And, he loved to hike, travel around the world and especially work on vintage cars like Porsche, Morgan and Buick. This included 2 awards: a 2007 Fortuna Redwood AutoXpo Best in Show for his work done on a 1963 Buick Wildcat convertible and a people's choice award at a Hayward, CA show for most unique car with his 1968 Morgan Plus 4, a fairly rare British auto.
A public viewing will be held on Saturday, April 1, 2017 from 9am to 9pm at Oak Hill Memorial Park, 300 Curtner Avenue, San Jose, CA 95125, Phone: (408) 297-2447. Donations to Stanford Cancer Research preferred over flowers.

I worked at Atari with Noah. We had many great times together both at Atari's Sunnyvale facility where I was Mfg. Eng. Manager for the Pinball division and In Ireland where I established an assembly plant for pinball games in Ardfinnan, near Tipperrary. My heart goes out to Mary. Noah was a great friend with lots of talent and a great sense of humor. Jim Riordan, formerly of San Jose, CA, now in Cameron Park, CA. Now you can fly truly "unlimited" till I see you again . . .Adios dear friend.

Noah was my boss at Atari for a brief but memorable period in the early 1980s and he had a big influence on my life. I have many fond recollections of him, particularly of a trip to England to visit prospective vendors, where Noah, fun-loving as always, managed to fit in a trip to Stonehenge and to the car museum in Beaulieu. We lost touch, something I will always regret. My wife, Anne, and I attended his public viewing on April 1 (a date that Noah would have found ironic) at Oak Hill and met his wife, Mary, and his son and daughter, where I got an opportunity to pay my final respects. Our sincerest condolences to Mary and family and to all Noah's extended family and friends.

I was a neighbor and friend of the Anglin family. Being five years younger than Noah did not stop him from being a true friend. Cars, he loved them. He would let me watch him work on them in front of his house. Sending thoughts and prayers to the Anglin family.
