Ian Arthur NOYCE

Sad to hear of ians passing. A great luthier and a lovely man

I have only today learned of the death of Ian Noyce. A generous warm and wonderful man. I have fond memories of his festive season golf tournam and parties, and wonderful nights of music. I recall once getting a call from Ian to drive up with my scuba gear. Ian had lost his new glasses overboard on his big dam. As a result of the tannins from leaves, sticks and bark in the water was pitch black, so no visibility whatsoever. It took about 40 minutes on the bottom of carefully feeling about...

I have only recently heard that Ian has passed. I´m truly saddened by this news as I consider Ian a great man in the Australian Guitar community, and feel fortunate to have spent time in his company. I will think of him often when I play the instruments I have that he crafted.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Sad news. Many great memories of Friday night jam sessions out the back of the music shop. I made a video of him making a guitar from a bock of wood to playing it back in 1984. I still have a copy if any of the family want a copy. RIP Noycey. Bloody good bloke.

From kindergarten to high school. Always a goer. Thinking of Diane and family.

Ian was a great mate and a great hang, I always enjoyed spending time at Noycelands discussing guitars and the finer points of his craft. He was an utter genius and a gentleman. Condolences to Ian´s family and to Kurtis, my old school chum.

So sad to hear of Ian`s passing. Remember him with great fondness. My warm regards to his family. Di x
