On behalf of Marlene Guess, Stacy Jones Bevacqua and our family here and with Gil now. Your legacy is a straight line from you to Leslie and her first roommate at Howard -Stacy Jones to Kamala! Thanks for being you and thanks for the fond memories we have from Duncans Jamaica

I grew up in Montclair in the 1970’s and remember watching Like it is. Thank you for sharing your amazing career us. Rest in Peace Mr. Noble.

Mr Noble thank you for all the knowledge you have given so many people


YOU ARE MISSED...YOUR GREATNESS.....RIP

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....

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.

Mr. Noble conducted an excellent interview of Bob Marley, the best I've seen. A smooth, suave, and highly intelligent man, who brought people closer to the truth.

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
