I am so sad. I was one of the kids on Mr. Noah's buses when he would take our ski club up to the Poconos or Vermont. On one of the trips I broke my leg and he took such good care of me. I loved to sit up at the front of the bus and talk to him. He is a wonderful memory of my childhood. I am so sorry for your loss.

Many years ago Noah drove the bus numerous times when we went skiing with the Salisbury Ski Club. He also drove us a few times for other events, There will never be anyone who can take his place. He was always happy and enjoyable to be around. We share your loss.

I am so proud to have had you for a father. You were such a kind, compassionate man. Your sense of humor was one thing many will remember about you. I love you dearly and will miss you more than anyone will know. I was so proud of you Dad....you never complained throughout this past year of challenges. You were a joy to take care of and I will treasure all the time God allowed us with you. Love You Dad.

A highlight of any Brenneman get- together was visiting with Noah. His smile and humor will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this time. May God bless you all.

Having Noah as a Dad was fantastic! He was kind, loving, ornery, understanding and all the things you'd wish for in a memorable character in your life!!! Gonna remember him with a smile our faces and a warmth in our hearts.

Thank you so for all of your kind words for my Pop-Pop! Our family stepped up and stuck together during the last year and for that I am truly grateful and appreciative.
The truly positive and humorous nature of his character and his "Zook look", that we like to call it, are impossible to forget.

Sometimes God gives us special people to add joy and laughter to our lives. Noah was one of those. For the many years I knew Noah he always treated me like I was part of his family. You will be missed old friend but your smile will live in our hearts forever.

It was my pleasure to have known this wondeful man for many years,he will be missed by so many and "the smile" or should I say his wickedly ornery smile is one you won't forget.

To the Zook family, a very large and loving family who had the greatest dad. Noah was a good soul with an infectious smile. I had the priviledge of knowing him for many years and it was an honor and he will be missed by so many. Sandra Komorowski

I'm going to miss him so much. I just can't think of anyone I have ever met who had a smile like his. Even in the mist of all the medical toubles he went through you could be sure just as the sun would rise that he would have a smile a joke or something funny to say. I will miss you very much Dumbell. Heaven just became an even happier place with your there.
