Not sure what to say?

I am sorry to learn of Coach Noun's passing. Bill was a Coach for the Oswego State football team in the 70's. He could be intense when required but most of the time he incorporated laughter and song into the process of creating good human beings that were empathetic yet willing to work hard as a team. Rest in Peace my friend and Thank you for being you! God Speed, until we meet again!

A humble, kind man with a compassionate heart! "Nounville" will never be the same again. You are missed!

My condolences to the Noun family. I knew Bill from our days in St. Sophia’s choir. He was so kind and genuine. He always had his ukulele and he loved to entertain us at every choir gathering. May his memory be eternal.

Bill was a very kind and sincere person who cared about the success of his students in mathematics and life in general. He was always there for the kids way into his retired years.
Each holiday Bill would sing and play his ukelele at the end of the last class which raised a tear. He also emulated Elvis.
Bill smiled just like above!
Bill was an excellent teacher who made a difference, we need more Bills. He made me feel welcome and useful. I owe you another hug.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Mr. Noun was a favorite teacher of mine. He had a way of making everyone's day better. He encouraged his students to the point that we got excited about Algebra! I loved the days he sang as well. Later in my life he was a Town Board member while I was the budget officer of the same. He was just as amazing in politics. He was always respectful and truly cared about his community. Just last year during the height of Covid he came to Rochester (near...

Always smiling and laughing, always singing, always caring and making people feel good about themselves and as if he were their lifelong friend.......Bill will SO be missed! He sang "The Hawaiian Wedding Song" in church at my wedding ceremony in 1973. It was a highlight of the event and Bill forever thanked me for giving him the opportunity to do that, since he told me it gave him even more confidence in performing before a crowd. He also honored my mother at her 90th birthday party by...

I wanted to add to my wife Wendy's earlier post about Bill.
Coretta Scott King said "The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members". With that as a measuring stick, it is easy to understand Bill's impact on our community. His compassion and caring has touched generations of students and their parents, that will be shared long after his passing. With Bill it was never a random act of kindness. It was the way he lived his life. He...

Bill Noun was one in a million! I've never met a more positive, loving, accepting individual. Bill was always cheerful and went out of his way to make others happy! I rented an apartment from Bill for 2 years. We left when we purchased a home. Bill lent us his trailer and even physically helped us move. That was Bill in a nutshell. Instead of just being kind, BIll always went overboard to help EVERYONE. Years later when we had children, Bill would come out to our home and serenade...

You will be sorely missed. You had an impact on everyone that met you.
