Lorie, William, Teresa and David: Lorie and William; you were fortunate to have a very special man in your life for over 30 years. I believe his spirit never really leaves you, but instead walks with you until your spirits meet again. But until then, we can all cherish every sweet memory of John we have and keep those memories alive and close to our hearts.

The huanting refrain of taps to herald the passing of John David Noble, Major Retired, will be heard. Those who knew John are aware of how proud he was of his military service and that of his wife Lorie E. Noble, Chief Warrant Officier Five. Johns service is emblimatic of the few who volenteer to serve their country to the benefit of us all.
John's untimely passing will leave his family and friends without his sound advice, good Humor and Helping hand. If you could only have one friend you would be fortunate if it was John Noble. So as one old soldier to another I solute you in a final tribute.

Dear Noble Family- Our thoughts and prayers go out to you during this time of sorrow. John was a kind, wonderful, thoughtful and caring man who was loved by all. His bright smile lit up every room he entered. His sense of humor was fantastic, and he could cheer up anyone instantly. He enjoyed doing nice things for other people. I remember He would always bring treasures in to work for his co-workers (specialty foods, flowers, souvenirs from trips etc...) He was a very generous man. He always put others before himself. It seems like just yesterday that he prepared the Christmas holiday meal for our entire office...over 80 people! He donated the food and prepared it! What a wonderful cook he was! We certainly all benefitted from his love of gourmet foods! Everyone knew John loved his family more than anything in this world. And we all know we were Blessed to have him in our lives. John, we miss You. You will live in our hearts FOREVER!
