On behalf of the Music Department at Vanier College, I wish to express our sincere condolences to Mr. Spinelli's family, and our deep regret at the loss of this wonderful gentleman. He has been an unwavering supporter of our Classical Voice program through many years of his generous scholarship donations for incoming and graduating students. His presence at our annual Noël Spinelli Vocal Scholarships Recitals was always a welcome treat, and he will be missed greatly.

My dad, Hy Ness (Snap-on Tools) was a good (business) friend of Noel. Approximately 60 years ago when I wanted to buy a new Camry, he called Noel who invited us to meet him at the Lachine dealership....I'll never forget how he treated me like I was his first and only customer...I bought the Camry. Then when I found out about his love of classical music and the OSM, I thought I'd give it a shot, and I loved classical music ever since!

My condolences to friends and family!
