Thomas William "Billy" Noonan

Billy
I always knew you were a defensive guy. 1st game up in heaven and a shutout

Auburn has lost a legend - one who never will be forgotten. I first met Mr. Noonan when I was just a grade school kid. I would listen to he and my Dad (and many other kid's Dads)talk sports during my visits to the Knights of Columbus, usually after Mass on Sundays. Whether it was Notre Dame, The Cleveland Browns, The Philadelphia Phillies or a highly touted prep star from Anytown, USA signing a national letter of intent, Mr. Noonan knew every detail. I would leave asking my Dad, "how does...

The passing of Mr. Noonan is certainly a loss for Auburn and Notre Dame football. He was a good friend of my dad's and got me started in organized baseball many years ago.

There was no one that I know that knew more about high school football nationwide and whether they would be a good fit for ND!. He had a strong Catholic faith and his smile and friendship will be missed by me and many others.

Now he will have more influence over ND and maybe they will win another...

We were sorry to hear of Billy's passing. He was certainly was an "Auburn Legend". His passionate interest is sports and politics sparked many memorable conversations.

We remember seeing him suddenly start running as he walked South Street. I can almost see him and Gene Donahue having a grand ND discussion.....
Thanks for the memories Billy

Dear Billy's Family,

So very sorry for your loss. Billy
has been the Best neighbor for the
last 15 years. He had a heart of
gold. Billy surely was one of a kind.
My daughters and I will truly miss
him!

I remember Bill from my attendance at Holy Family School and Church. Bill was always energetic and pleasant in his activities. My prayers to his family.

I am truly going to miss Mr. Noonan! Who else will walk in the door of the library and greet me by saying, "look who's here....the Obama-Loving Democrat"? He made me laugh with his "corny" political jokes, he was a character..Go Notre Dame!!!!
Fondly,
Kathleen Klink Sherman

Billy was a true Legend of Auburn as Ormie Kingmight say. I am sure God holds a special place for him in the ND wing of heaven. He was a special favorite of my Dad from his time coaching football at Holy Family and the subject of many stories. Our prayers and thought are with his family.

Tom & Jance - Billy was a great man. We enjoyed seeing him at the boys baseball games and always listening to him talk about the Y-field. I am glad we had the opportunity to see him at Colleen's graduation.

Our deepest sympathy.
