Gil Noble Obituary
The television station announced the Emmy Award-winning journalist's death on its website. He had a debilitating stroke last summer.
"Gil Noble's life and work had a profound effect on our society and culture," said WABC-TV President and General Manager Dave Davis. "His contributions are a part of history and will be remembered for years to come."
Noble joined WABC-TV as a reporter in 1967 and anchored the station's weekend newscasts the following year. Also in 1968, he became host of "Like It Is," which focused on issues concerning African-Americans.
He was equally as comfortable interviewing heads of state such as Mandela or Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe as he was interviewing entertainers such as Harry Belafonte and Bill Cosby or sports icons such as Ali or tennis star Arthur Ashe.
Noble also created documentaries on luminaries like civil rights leaders Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., writer W.E.B. Du Bois, and jazz musician Charlie Parker.
Noble was the recipient of seven Emmy awards and received a lifetime achievement award from the National Association of Black Journalists. He also received five honorary doctorates and was cited with more than 650 awards from various community groups.
He had a passion for jazz and was a member of the board of directors of The Jazz Foundation of America.
He is survived by his wife, Jean, and five children. Funeral services haven't yet been announced.

I recall a premonition that he would not be with us much longer. I asked a couple of the Brothers that were frequent visitors on the show about what will be done to carry on his work. They responded that it was being looked into. His dream was one of a kind. I told him one time that maybe a part of the show should applaud our successes. I prayed who ever was given the assignment (by God) to follow in his footsteps would present the problems along with solutions. Truly prayers are answered. There goes Sandra Bookman...Here and Now!!!! Thank you Lord :-)!

My condolences to the Noble family.
America has lost a distinguished scholar, communicator, journalist, and humanist. I loved watching Like It Is on ABC-7 and I've learned so much African and African American history and the conditions and situations that have negative impact to the black community and yet there is hope, still. God bless you, Gil. You will be missed.

To the Noble family. I grew up with you in Montclair, NJ many years ago. I visited your home as a friend of the twins. I fondly remember the family and how Ms. Noble gave me my first introduction to Island living and Kingston Town. Although I've moved on in life, I remember how kind Mr. Noble was to me. I never forgot the family. I pray the entire family is coping with their loss and I will continue to pray for God's peace to be with you. Kim Jackson Ovesen

We are so deeply saddened by the loss of "Uncle Gill". He was a great man who whose departure will undoubtedly leave behind a tremendous void in the community well into the future. Although he will remembered by so many across the globe for his legendary contributions to civil rights and journalism, we will also simply miss him as "Uncle Gill". Rest in peace Uncle. We love you.

I attended the funeral today at Abyssinian Baptist Church. I saw people whom Gil Noble had asked me numerous times if I'd known. I felt as if I'd known them as some recounted the same stories he had shared with me. Gil Noble leaves a marvelous legacy to educate and uplift people for generations to come. He leaves a loving family, adoring friends and fans.. While he will be missed, because of what he leaves behind he will never be forgotten, but will forever live on in our minds and hearts. I imagine upon entering into the gates of glory he will here "Well done, good and faithful servant. Well done!"

I was a desk assistant at Eyewitness News in the summer of 1969 and Gil would occasionally take me on assignments with him. I still remember the recount for the Adam Clayton Powell/Charlie Rangel race when we went up to Harlem for the recount. He let me write up the sports and weather on Saturday night. I went to Wall Street instead of following his path. A great journalist and teacher. Great voice. May God give comfort to his family. He led a remarkable life and was truly a trailblazer.

I met him on two speaking occasions and was surprised to see that he was tall in stature but not surprised that he was majestic in his revelations. That's because he was and remains the only television personalty that would tell it "Like it is."

Rest in peace, Gil Noble.
Thank you for opening the door so that other black journalists might enter.
You had a profound impact on many careers that might not have been, including my own.
Rest in peace,guardian of truth

Thank Gil Noble for your dedication and devotion to our people for lifting us up when we needed it, for being the man to stand up to topics that were not popular and even controversial to mainstream media, you went about doing what you knew needed to be done. I remember meeting you and seated next to you @ the New York Black Educators organization when you were honored by them in the 70's. A soft spoken man with a powerful purpose and mission. Always watched your program. We will always miss you, however, began missing you when you took ill. May the Lord and the angels receive you in heaven and say job well done my good and faithful servant. Ajike Williams (Bronx,N.Y.)

Mr. Like It Is
Written for Gil Noble by Naz
Four decades telling it
Like It Is
pillar we counted on
One without word play
Mr. Like It Is
portrayed, relayed, conveyed
precisely
Like It Is
Stayed, unswayed, unafraid
Mr. Like It Is
Gil called a spade a spade
questioned air raids
Mr. Like It Is
Persuaded the dismayed
Paraded the degraded
No band aid on slave trade
schooled both ex's, masters and slaves
Mr. Like It Is
Exposed rather than evade
need for free trade,
not over played military blockades, air raids
Sometimes outweighed and under played, still
Mr. Like It Is
You made the Grade
Today, we parade
And serenade
Mr. Like It Is
the
Noble One
Thank you for interviewing countless numbers of Heads of State, politicians, civil rights leaders, entertainers, and documenting the lives of Dubois, Malcolm, Farrakhan, Fannie Lou, Powell, Robertson, and others; with you in the tube and me sitting, listening intently, carefully and learning.

Perhaps no other television program was so aptly named. Like It Is is exactly how Mr. Noble told it. I may be amongst the youngest of the posters here but I found Mr. Noble to be a shining example of a strong, uncompromising, scholarly, regal black man. A true national treasure, Mike Wallace will get most of the pub in the following days but to me and many of us Mr. Noble held more significance. RIP and my condolences to his family.

On Sundays when I left Church, I would always look forward to viewing Like It Is. From Malcom To Dr. Ben, Mr. Gil Noble was my Teacher my Mentor, the living breathing soul of America. He was my friend even though we never met in person. I loved this Great Man just as I love my family, for Mr. Noble was the embodiment of the most postive and proud spirit of Black Folk. His wonderful work touched so many and we will miss his voice, as there is yet still so much work to be done. May his Holy Soul Rest In that most peaceful place, forever more. Respectfully. Brian K.

I could spot Brother Gil from a distance, at any Harlem gathering, for he was 'the tallest tree in the forest' of Broadcast-Journalism. Mr. "Burnt of Skin" in his fishers hat and safari jacket hunting stories of our struggle which he presented in a fashion that is unparalleled. Mr. Noble could be found Wednesday evenings in Newark, on the week-ends in Queens. Ever working, ever learning, ever honing his craft. Thanks again for the two - hundred dollars to feed the attendees at the Jobs Revitalization Conference. Thank you Noble Family for your sacrifices endured while you shared him with us. Our grief cannot match your grief, but allow us to join you in expressing our love and respect to our Champion Wordsmith who epitomized Dignity and Grace.

GIL NOBLE made his transition today, April 5, at around noon. In his 80 years on earth he left a noble legacy that no one will be able to match. Excellence was his standard, and he lived up to it with impeccable precision. He left a gold mine of Black History that will forever be a solid and trustworthy source of knowledge and inspiration to all who watched his programs on LIKE IT IS, and to all who in countless years to come will learn of his contributions to history in general and to Black History in particular. For more than forty years he has held forth with dignity and consistency, and against tremendous odds, and he never compromised his integrity as he remained faithful to his goal of telling it LIKE IT IS. His manner was always calm, dignified, and respectful as he set forth with unfailing regularity the accomplishments and struggles of Black people. All people of all races can look with pride upon the monumental work that Gil Noble has bequeathed to the world. In his early life, he took up the baton of "Excellence in Reporting" and he ran the race with grace and beauty until the time came when he had to lay his burden down. No one can walk in Gil Noble's shoes, nor should anyone even try.
I was privileged to appear on "Like It Is" on many occasions, and I am deeply grateful for his support of causes dear to my heart. We always enjoyed long telephone conversations together, sharing views on the challenges facing America and Black people in America.
May God grant him eternal peace and may the good that he has done live long after him. Grace and blessings upon his wife and loved ones.

Gil Noble was a journalist and Human Rights advocate. He was not afraid of "stepping out of the box" not only for African Americans but for all people. He was a man of integrity who manifested profound empathy for any oppressed minority. He is a blessed and fortunate man who has left a legacy of information and history that would otherwise not be available to future generations. His uniquely dignified relational style and fierce truth seeking will be remembered by all he touched. I had the privilege of two conversations with him. He clearly spoke to me "LIKE IT WAS" at the time. Reflected appraisals did not concern him, he found giving voice to often unpopular and controversial issues more important. Gil Noble's voice sharing "LIKE IT IS" will echo in our minds forever. My condolences to his wife and family on their loss.

I AM TRULY GOING TO MISS HIM. I am New York native that have resided in Atlanta for over 15 years and thats when I had to stop watching Like It Is. When I heard of Gil's stroke last year I have been praying for him and his family ever since. Now that he gone please don't let his legacy died ans cultralcenter needs to be started so black people can continuely be aware of their history because that is what Gil did and also inform us of the current social injust that we have in this country. GOD BLESS THE NOBLE FAMILY - LOVE THE GREEN, ATLANTA, GA AND FORMER NATIVE NEW YORKER.

Gil Noble helped keep the world more just and fair for all of the oppressed. His sincerity and courage in presenting the truth was and is par excellence. He truly loved humanity. There will never be another television journalist as representative of what is needed to be a guardian angel of the information needs of the oppressed. The glorious parade of ancestors he joins will definitely be glad to comfort, greet and honor him. My deepest condolences go out to his family, friends and fans. May ALLAH Bless you, Brother Gil Noble with exquisite peace and blessings. You have been an elegant example of human excellence that all who have not forgotten the struggle would do well to follow for the benefit of all sentient beings. You will truly be missed.
