When we look back through the years we remember with great fondness the times we were privileged to spend at our sister Mary’s house. Visiting with Mary and her children, whether we were watching football games, attending graduations or other family functions, we always had a wonderful time. We watched you children grow from babies to young adults, with families of your own. And even though distant has been between us over the last several years, every one of you has always been in our thoughts and our hearts. To Noel, our nephew, you will be forever missed. We love you!
Through this difficult time, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love,
Uncle Steve & Uncle Al

Noel,
You were not only my brother, but my very best friend. We were together all the time.I never missed one of your football games. In all of the 51 years together, we NEVER argued, never got mad at each other like siblings so often do. I have another hole in my heart, it will get smaller over time, like it has with Mommy's. You had a heart of gold, and a ready smile. I will always remember our last visit in May at my house. I loved to watch you with Madison. You two had so much fun together tossing the softball, and we had some good long talks late at night. We are a very close family, and together, we will take care of each other. I can't even begin to say how much I will miss you, but I have lots of WONDERFUL memories to look back on. Right now, your death is not real yet, so when it sinks in, those fun times we had will help ease the pain. Until I see you and Mom again, hugs and kisses.
All My Love Always,
Deb

I am still in shock & still very sad. I am so glad that I. Dave Fette & Bobby Delk from the Ellsworth AFB days were able to attend the service in Oklahoma. His son Mark spoke of how Noel told stories of our great friendship and glory days. I will miss my friend Noel very much.

It saddens me to hear about Noel's passing. He was a classmate of mine at Bartlett High. I did not know him well but he inspired me and others to be the best and treat others well. He will be missed by his family and all he knew.

Uncle No No,
No words can be found to describe the emotions flowing through the family at this time. There are alot of things I do not understand, and you leaving us is on that list. You were a great husband an amazing father, i know because you helped raise me into who I am today.I will never forget all the card tricks and games you TRYED to teach me, You taught me great things, but most of all you taught me that no matter what if we all pull together we can get through anything. I love you so much and can't describe how much I'll miss you. But, i will not mourn your death & will celebrate your life.

My mom has lived next door to Noel, Cindy, and the boys since 1993. Since I live in Arizona, she is always telling me that Noel or one of the boys is helping her fix something. I see Cindy everytime I come to town and she is the sweetest person and always has a smile for me and my kids. I was so sad to hear about Noel and wanted to let the family know how much I appreciate all he did for my mom and all that they do. I know his generous spirit will live on in his boys and his kindness will not be forgotten.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of my old friend Noel. We had such great times while stationed in Rapid City, SD (Ellsworth, AFB). I remember Noel teaching me to play Cribbage and how he loved to listen to CSN&Y. To Cindy and the boys, please know Noel is in a better place and there were undoubtedly many friends and family there to meet him. My most heartfelt condolences and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

Uncle Noel (No-No),
Words can't describe what the family feels right now and will feel in the future. Not only did the world lose an incredible man, but we lost the most amazing uncle, brother, dad, husband, and son. You were so many things to so many people. I will forever cherish the memories I had with you. May you rest in peace with Nana! I love and miss you!
Love your niece,
Patti
