Jeffrey Noto Obituary

Jeffrey Blaise Noto
Mr. Noto passed away suddenly on Sunday, May 21 surrounded by family. Jeff's primary focus in life was his devotion to God and his family. Jeff was the devoted husband to Elizabeth (Lisa), loving father to Jennifer, Patrick and Allison, son of Anne and Anthony Noto of West Babylon, NY, sibling to Anthony and Claire Noto of Central Islip, NY, Florene and Douglas Dittrich of Bolton Landing, NY, Patricia and David Stach of Centreville, VA, Joseph Noto of Farmingville, NY and Cathleen and Anthony Sellitti of Farmingdale, NY; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Born in Farmingdale, NY, Jeff attended the University of Florida at Gainesville, FL, where he met Lisa in 1981 and they were married in 1982. Jeff and Lisa moved to Charlotte in 1993 where Jeff quickly became an integral part of the community. He worked for Griffin Automotive Group as an Internal Audit Manager, a position he held until his death. Jeff was a nine-year member and former Grand Knight as well as treasurer of the St. John Neumann Knights of Columbus Council 7343. Jeff was also instrumental in starting the Colombian Squires.
Jeff's encyclopedic mind often astounded friends and relations especially when it came to sports trivia. Jeff coached soccer, baseball and softball teams through out his time in Charlotte and his loss is deeply felt by all who came in contact with him. Jeff was also selected to the Little League portion of the MLB hall of fame in Cooperstown in 1975.
There will be a prayer service Thursday at 7:00 PM followed by visitation until 9:00 PM, with a funeral Mass of Resurrection celebrated by Msgr. Richard Bellow at 11:00 AM Friday, both at St. Gabriel Catholic Church, 3016 Providence Rd. Charlotte.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the 'Noto Children Education Fund' c/o 4920 Glenbrier Dr., Charlotte, NC. All inquiries to Heritage Funeral & Cremation Services, (704) 846-3771.

I miss you every day. These days seem harder than normal because so much is changing in our family. Someone's graduating, someone's getting married; in short, life is moving forward without you. We all miss you terribly.

I still hope I make you proud every day. You're the first man I ever loved and you set the example of what I want for the rest of my life.

We love you....

September 3, 2013

I haven't looked at this book in a few years. Doesn't mean I don't think about you, because you know I do, every single day. I really wish you were here right now because we really need your calming influence. Come visit me. It's been too long....

May 21, 2013

Thinking of you today, Mr. Noto. Your family misses you every day, and they always find ways to keep you in their lives. Although I feel like I already know you in many ways, I often wish I could have met you in person. You raised an amazing son; who I love very much. I will do my best to always take care of him, to be there when he needs someone, and to bring him happiness. I hope you are enjoying your time with 'Pop' and Trish. You have a great family. You are all missed by many.
Fondly, Carissa

May 30, 2011

I miss you.

November 16, 2010

Wish I could give you a big hug. Happy Birthday!
It's a shame I never got to join you and your friends for the poker parties. I always wanted to play with you guys and share a beer, rather than just sneaking drinks behind Mom's back. Shh! Don't tell her.

October 11, 2010

Really missing you, Dad. Wishing we could talk, at the very least.

Your son

June 30, 2010

Today I had a dream that I was playing soccer again. It was a good feeling. Often I wonder how good I could have been if I had trained harder.
I wish the US could have gone further, but what can you do?
All of this soccer and other things make me miss you a lot. Send some goodness to this world. There is not enough of it.

Patrick

May 23, 2010

I really miss you. It still feels terrible not having you here. Wish you and I could watch some baseball. And the World Cup is this summer; it's been a long time since we've watched one of those together. I know you are doing good things. I love you a lot.

November 15, 2009

Hi Jeff,
Happy 49th birthday. Wish we could call you to wish you a Happy Birthday. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. In 8 weeks it will be Kathy-Anne's 50th birthday, Give her a bear hug from us. We miss you both as much as we did on day one. Be happy and at Peace.
I'll talk to you tonight as I do every night. Love you both.
Mom and Dad

October 6, 2009

Some days I forget that you aren't here. I want to pick up the phone and call you but then remember that you don't have a cell phone wherever you are. I hear something I know you'd love, I want to tell you and then remember that you can't talk back. It drives me crazy. Why do you visit other people but you don't visit me? Don't you know how much I miss you and how much I STILL need you?

It may be Heaven for you but it's Hell for the rest of us.

September 1, 2009

I try to talk to you, but it never seems that I can hear you.
Help me find resolution in what worries me.

We miss you. It has been too long.

May 22, 2009

Hi Jeff,
Another year. As usual I've been thinking about you. We had a lot of big birthdays this year and missed hearing from you. Time is healing our pain, but the memory of that day will never leave us. Be happy dear, give Kathy Anne a bear hug.
Love you and miss you Mom and Dad

January 30, 2009

It's amazing how the first few notes of a song can make you burst into tears for no reason. Especially when five minutes before that you were just fine.

Why???? I ask this every day.

December 24, 2008

Hi Jeff,
Another Christmas!! Wish our phone could reach you. Would love to hear your voice again. We had Thanksgiving in Va. had a great time.
Then went to N.C. to see more of the family. Lisa and your kids are great. Spent time with Florene and all her family. We all live too far away. Hope you and Kathy Anne have a good Christmas. Love you both. Be happy.
Miss You. Love
Mom & Dad

November 16, 2008

Hi Jeff,
Another birthday! Oh how I wish I could call you and wish you a happy birthday. But I'm Sure you know this. Hope you have a good day with your sister Kathy Anne. Jeff, our family needs your prayers for one of your nephews. He needs your strength and determination to get well. Hopefully we will be going to see your sisters and also your family over the Thanksgiving Holiday.Hugs for Kathy Anne. Miss you both as much as we did on day one.
Love You
Mom & Dad too

Once again I have some exams coming up with which I will need your help. Also, please help me with the decisions I will have to make in my immediate future.
We need you.

Pat

I've got three exams this week. Help me out please. Bestow some of your wisdom upon me.
I miss you...

Do you remember when we used to count the cars when a train would go by?

One more thing-
Sitting around the dinner table at my house last night Patrick made the comment that the four of us together are strong. I couldn't help but think how true that is. Whatever differences we may have, we are very tight with each other and remain strong in our bond. I suppose that is the only good thing I can thank God for regarding your departure. Keep watching over us.

Jenny

August 13, 2008

Tomorrow is your 26th wedding anniversary and we're taking Mom out to celebrate. Without you and her, the three of us would not be here. I have no idea why but lately I've been having a hard time again. Guess it's just the idea that the seasons will change again soon and a reminder that our lives are forever changed by your sudden departure.

It's good to have Patrick home for a week. We miss and love you.

August 13, 2008

Hi Jeff,
It's been a few months since I've been in touch. Although I do talk to you every day. This is your 26th Wedding Anniversary. As usual I will miss talking to you. I really miss your "Hi Mom, how are you doing?" You know I'm doing O.K. but there are times that are so difficult. I still wonder "Why??" We'll never know. Miss and love you so very much. Be happy Jeff. A big hug for Kathy Anne.
All My Love
Always Mom

Jenny

July 18, 2008

I'm 25 on Sunday. Wish you were here on Earth to celebrate with us. I miss you every day and you are never far from my thoughts. I love you.

May 21, 2008

Hi Jeff,
It's two years since you left us. I missed hearing your voice on Mother's Day. As time goes by it doesn't seem any easier than the first day you were called to Heaven. You are always in my prayers and thoughts. Hugs for Kathy Anne.
Be at peace Jeff.
Love You
Mom

Jenny

May 20, 2008

It's been 2 years and some days it still feels like it was just yesterday since you left us. Some days I find the pain so fresh I can't keep from crying. They say Heaven is this wonderful place. Why then, would you be removed from the life you loved so much? I guess this is something I will never understand or even meant to understand. At any rate, it doesn't make this any better. I miss you all the time. I watched the Sopranos the other night and I was overcome with grief. That was our thing! Every Sunday it was me and you. I think back to how many times I pulled away after a long hug. If only I knew then what I know now. You used to tell me I was always your little girl and as I got older I used to shake my head at that. What I'd give to be young again and to climb into your lap for a hug. I hope you know that even when I was angry at you, my love for you and Mom never faltered. I'm so proud to have you both as my parents. I never really knew how lucky I was until my first year of college. Please look out for us. We hurt without you here. And it's worse this year because Patrick is away. You know he's just like you. And your little girl is growing up into a young lady.

Keep watching over us. Whenever I get asked if I could change one thing about my life, it always comes back to you. May 21, 2006 was the worst day of our lives and although we have kept on with our lives, it doesn't make it any easier on us.

I love you always with all of my heart and all of my soul. I only pray I can find someone to love me as much as you loved Mom.

Take care of us.

Your best friend

This internship at Disney World has been an unbelievable blessing. For the first time in what seems so long I actually feel like things are looking up for me. This experience has brought me the happiness I have long desired for, and I have improved so much as an individual. Through these changes I can feel you inside me. I am forever grateful that you are looking out for me and that you and the Lord have bestowed such wonderful blessings upon me.
I know you are watching over me, but I often wish you were here so I could talk to you about my experiences or simply be in your presence.
I miss you baby, and thanks again for everything. Please send St. Anthony my way to help me find something.

Jenny

I love being in New York and with your family, but it's so hard to leave. I miss you.

March 22, 2008

Hi Jeff ,
Happy Easter(a little late) Easter snuck up on me this year. Every year at Easter time I remember the Easter Pageant in Cape Coral. Remember? You played Christ on the Cross. You really did a good job. I don't remember if it was Joe or Cathleen but one of them thought you actually were nailed to the cross.
It was so good to see Jenny this weekend. It was a great birthday for
Dad to have so many of our grandchildren to help him celebrate his 84th. Wow!! a bear hug for Kathy Anne. Be Happy Jeff. We all miss you and love you.
Mom

February 13, 2008

Hi Jeff,
Happy Valentine's Day.
Just want you to know you are always
on my mind and in my heart.
Thanks for the visit. It lifted my
spirit.

We had our first snow in about 3 years here on Thursday. As I was driving to work, I thought about the few times we had snow growing up. We'd usually get out of school and if you didn't brave the roads to go to work, you were out there with us. Makeshift sleds, snowball fights and just being with us. I've always said you were the best dad a girl could ask for. This is just another example.

I love you.

December 22, 2007

Hi Jeff,
Another Christmas without you. It's not any easier than the last. It was good to have Lisa and the children with us on Thanksgiving. But you were so terribly missed as is Kathy Anne. Our love to you both. Be happy and pray for Dad.
Love You
Mom and Dad

Jenny

December 21, 2007

Here comes another holiday without you. I really miss the Christmas shopping we'd do for Mom. You always worked so hard to make Christmas so great for us all. I miss you so much and more than ever I wish you were here with us for Christmas. I love you.

Happy Late Birthday Mr. Jeff. I did not know it was until I read some of the emails on your book. It is weird I admit not being able to see you at my father's work like we used to. You were a terrific friend to us all.
Thanks to you when you worked on my pc, I am going in Information Technology and get my ceritification in A+ to be able to work on computers. Thanks so much!
With love and blessings always,
Emily

Happy Birthday Daddy! I miss you and selfishly wish you were here on Earth instead of in Heaven. There was a homily in church last week about how there is no marriage in Heaven, there is only love. I hope that is true because I can't understand why the Lord would want to take you away from the people you love the most and who love you the most. Still, I know there is some greater purpose that we cannot begin to understand. I can't wait until I see you again. It truly will be a lifetime of waiting in vanity for us all.

We fly to NY next week. I'm looking forward to it, but it will be very weird not having you there with us.

Watch over us all this holiday season. We will need the strength and love from each other to get through it without you.

I love you always.

November 16, 2007

Dear Jeff,
I just want to wish you a happy birthday. I think of you every day and hope you are at peace. Your family will be here next week for Thanksgiving, it will be good to see them. Love
Aunt Kay

November 16, 2007

Dear Jeff,
Todayis your 47th birthday. Oh how we miss you. We hope you are at peace. This is your second birthday with our Lord and Kathy-Ann. Just know you are always in our thoughts and prayers. Have a happy birthday Jeff. We Love You

November 9, 2007

I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving with our family in NY. As always, it won't be the same without you. Every day I wish you were here with us. The holidays are so much harder for us. I miss you terribly and of course, I love you.

PS-I went back to church. It's hard, but I'm doing it one Sunday at a time.

I love you.

October 23, 2007

I went to a wedding this weekend. Watching her dance with her father was so hard for me. I realized long before Saturday that I would never have that and it kills me. I'm not even sure I want to have a real wedding because it won't feel right without you there for a monumental moment in my life. Patrick will do a wonderful job giving me away, but it won't be the same. Anyway, I still can't believe you're not here. People think that as the days go by it gets easier. Not for us. We're stuck. Just as he said, it's even more depressing how long we must wait to see you again. I don't know how Mom does it. I love her more than I ever did before because of this. I suppose that is the one small bright side to this whole thing. I hate that I can't call you and tell you a funny story or when I had a great triumph to share with you. I miss your help around the house when I need a mirror or a ceiling fan put up. When have a question about finances, my car, or anything else, I feel like I have no one to go to because you were always my go to man. I miss the hell out of you. Why did you have to go?

Your favorite little guy

October 21, 2007

I am often still saddened by many things. But sometimes it seems things can be frustrating more so than saddening. When I want to share something with you or seek advice from you or even just talk about something that we have in common or that you found appealing, I find it frustrating that I cannot do this. I am taking a history class in which I am learning a lot and I often wish to hear your opinion about a certain topic. In my film class, we are watching movies that we used to watch together or that you found especially entertaining, but I cannot call you and tell you that I watched those movies. I cannot ask you the questions I now inquire about the world or about women or about family. So instead I am left to just sigh, sigh in profound frustration.
Every time I come home it is disheartening to know that I will not see your face. I often wonder how Mom still lives on as the wonderful person she is. Some might think that since she is in that environment all of the time, she is "used to it." I think she is being stronger than I.
Your daughter has become so much better at soccer and it breaks my heart that you are not here enjoying it with us. But I know you watched her play and I know after her game I could hear you say, "Good job, Allison! You played great!" At least I could find some comfort in that.
So I miss you, Dad. And once again it is depressing to think how long it has been since I've seen you, but even more depressing to know that it will be so much longer before I see you again.

Dear Mr. Noto,

My baby girl Rebekah Jean Guth was born on May 27th. She is precious and I know you would have loved to see her.

Take care

August 14, 2007

Today would have been your 25th wedding anniversary. I had just started planning this big party for you and Mom when you were suddenly taken from us. It would have been nice. I know there is no one in the world who could ever love Mom the way you do. I hope some day I am as happy as you made Mom. I miss you always and love you.

PS-Thank you for the gift you sent to me. I think I'm ready for it now.

August 13, 2007

Dear Jeff,
August 14. This is your 25th
Wedding Anniversary. There will be
no phone call wishing you and Lisa
a world of happiness. Instead we
will remember all the love and
happiness you have given us, your
family, brothers, sisters, Dad and Me. We all miss you as much today as
the day you left us. Be happy Jeff,
our thoughts,love and prayers are
with you constantly.
Love You
Mom and Dad

May 21, 2007

One year without you is not as hard as I thought. But I still miss you every day and wish you were here. Take care of us. I love you always.

May 19, 2007

It feels like we're having a party-and you were not invited. I know you're here, I just wish you were really here.

May 16, 2007

Jeff,
Your first anniversary in Heaven will be here soon. I will be
spending it with your family.
Rest in Peace Jeff.

May 14, 2007

Dear Jeff,
May 21...one year has passed since you went on to that 'better place'. It seems so much longer. You know we all miss and love you so very much. We (your brothers, sisters, some nieces and nephews, Aunt Kay,Dad and I) will all be at your house with Lisa and your wonderful children. Aside from the golf playing, we will be celebrating you. Everyone who knew you, knows your were a wonderful husband, father, brother, uncle and of course, son. Be happy, Jeff, and stay close to Kathy Anne. Someday we will be the big family we used to be. Our love and prayers are always with you. Forever in our hearts.

February 21, 2007

I returned home from college this past weekend; I caught a ride from a friend. I had not been home since Christmas break and was eager to see
my family. As we turned onto the street in my neighborhood, I became
filled with a great anticipation to once again see my family, just like
the feeling you get when you finally pull in the driveway after a long
vacation: anticipation to be back home with everyone. And with that
anticipation came a brief moment when I thought, "I'll get to see Jenny and Alli and Mom and Dad." It was just such a brief moment where I
actually thought I would see Dad. It was almost as if I had forgotten
that he had passed away. That kinda sounds bad. But what I mean is that
the reality of it slipped my mind for just that brief, brief moment.
I am sure many other people have these brief moments where the reality of it all seems to slip their mind. This has such a significant meaning. It means that some of us can still not even fathom the reality behind Dad being without us. Also, it means that he is with us in more ways than one and we think about him and miss him everyday.
Please be forever with us, especially during this Lenten season of prayer and reflection.

Emily Wilson Guth

February 14, 2007

Happy Valentine's Day Mr. Noto. Been thinking about you a lot and how nice of a friend you were to my family and I, especially my Dad who ya'll worked so well together at Griffin Management. I will never forget how you helped me out with my computer problems. Thank you so much for inspiring to keep going no matter what.
God Bless.
Love
Emily Wilson Guth and family

February 13, 2007

Don't forget to tell Mom you still love her on Valentine's Day. She misses you.

Jenny

February 2, 2007

It snowed yesterday. I had flashbacks of you taking us outside and spending the whole day sledding down the hill with us. I remember how you taught me to make snowballs-because there is an art to making them. We'd spend all morning out in the snow and then come in for cocoa before heading back out.

To the best father in the world. . . I miss you.

PS-Your son is just like you.

Jenny

January 2, 2007

The new year is here and we must all find a way to start it without you. It's very hard. You know how much I miss you and I desperately wish you were here with us. Please make 2007 a better year for us. I miss you every day and I love you with all of my heart.

Florene Dittrich

December 24, 2006

Well Jeff, tomorrow is Christmas and just as I expected you are not here. I think to myself, maybe a miracle will happen, but it doesn't. You are never very far from my thoughts and I know that you are always looking down and keeping watch over us.
We all love you, so much and we miss you terribly, but none more so than Lisa and the kids. I can see in their eyes that this is a very sad Christmas for them. You have such wonderful children and a great wife. We will watch them and keep them safe until we are all together again.
Love you brother, and Merry Christmas.
Love , Flo and Doug

December 23, 2006

Merry Christmas Jeff,
Your first Christmas in Heaven.
I hope it is all that they say it is. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas Jeff! I miss seeing you at work when I come by to visit my dad.
Also, Merry Christmas to family and friends of Jeff!!

Mom & Dad

December 19, 2006

Jeff, It's Christmas! We want to wish you and Kathy Anne a Blessed Christmas. Thanksgiving was hard to bear without you. Christmas will be the same. We miss the telephone calls, but I talk to you everyday. Thanks for praying for us. You know your family misses and loves you so very much. Stay together. Love you both immensely. Love you

Jenny

December 4, 2006

It is the first holiday season without you and I am devastated. Putting up the tree, decorating, and singing songs just do not seem right without you here. You always made the holidays fun for us and I will miss that more than anything this year. People ask me what I want for Christmas, but we all know my wish this year is very unrealistic. It feels like we're having a party without you and that I shouldn't be happy sometimes. I miss you every day and you know that I love you with all my heart. What's it like up there?

Patrick

November 21, 2006

We all miss and love you so much, Dad.
I will undoubtedly keep that promise I made to you, no matter what it takes. I just ask for your help.

May we celebrate the fact that you have spent six months in heaven. But we ask that you come to us. Please help us to confidently know that you are there.

I love you, family and friends.

Help! I can't believe you are gone, even though I know it to be true. Today, on your birthday, I canot even talk about you. It is too hard. I want to call Mom and Lisa, I know they must be feeling down, but I can not say your name without crying. Why did you have to leave?? It is so unfair. You had a life to live. You of all people, did not deserve to be sick, least of all die. I know I speak for everyone when I say our hearts will forever be scarred by our loss. Never forget that your family loves you and we miss you, Please, if you can, come back to us.We were not ready to let you go.

November 16, 2006

Well, Jeff. It is truly a day of mixed emotions. I miss not being able to hear your voice today, but I can still hear it clearly in my mind. I still wish I had said so many unsaid things, but you know them all now anyway. I still find it difficult to believe you are gone, but I know you are in exactly the right place. Your birthday will always be a day of remembering, but I think everyday will be a remembering day. Happy Birthday, brother. Being gone from this life doesn't prevent us from loving you. -- Love, Trish

November 16, 2006

Jeff,
I just want yo wish you a happy birthday, and hope you are at prace with no problems.
I think of you often but know you are up there watching over everyone.
I'm so glad that I was at Andy's
Wedding so that I got to see you one
last time. Be happy Jeff, You are always in my heart.
All my love,

November 16, 2006

Daddy,
I miss you so much. Someone told me today is supposed to be a celebration of your life, but I am still sad. I guess I am selfish after all, because all I want is for you to be here with us. How are we supposed to make it through the holidays without you? I know that one day I can smile and laugh and fondly remember you. I wonder how long I have to wait before I don't feel pain or sadness when I think of you. I'd give anything just to be with you. I miss everything about you-your hugs, the oldest jokes in the book, your smile, your gut wrenching laugh, and even the way you would yell at the TV when someone did something you didn't like. I hear the music you listen to and it takes me back to when I was a little kid. I hope I still make you proud. I love you so much, Dad. I wish I could have you here for me to tell you that. If I could just have one more dance, one more laugh, one more hug, one more smile. Please help us to get through this without you here. I love you. . .

Kit

November 16, 2006

Jeff-- Your first birthday in heaven and almost six months since you were taken from us. I still cannot believe it. Thank God for Andy & Suzanne's wedding and we were all able to be together. Never in my wildest dreams did I think the next time we would all be together would be to say goodbye to you. I wish so much I would have been there with you. I know the day will come when I can think of you and be comforted by memories. For now, my eyes are flooded with tears every time I think of you. I wish I could have gotten the chance to tell you how proud I am to be your sister and how very much I love you. I want you to know how very much I miss you. Nothing will ever be the same without you.
You are in my thoughts everyday.
With All My Love,

Dear Jeff--It's your 46th birthday. Never thought you would be taken from us. It all happened so fast. No time to say so long or to tell you, one more time, how much we love you. Once again, our hearts are broken. We are comforted by knowing you are with your sister. At last she is not alone. Have a Happy Birthday,Jeff. Give Kathyanne one of your bear hugs from us.
Love you,

Pat

On your birthday..We miss you so much, and think of you daily. Your birthday will be a hard day, for us all, but we are comforted by the fact that you are in the presence of the Lord. You have left a mark with us all, and even though you are no longer on earth with us, your presence is always felt. The holidays are coming and they will be empty without you. We laugh on the outside now, but inside, we all cry at the mere mention of your name. Our lives go on, not without you, but because of you. We know you are watching over us all, your family,your friends and those who need your love and prayers.
So today, I wish you a happy birthday and thank you for watching over us.
You had a kind and loving presence while you were on earth and an even greater presence from above.
Love you always, brother.....FloXXXXXXXX

4 months, Dad.

Though we will never forget the terrifying memory of this day 4 months ago, may we be comforted by the wonderful memories and by the fact that you have already spent 4 months with Him out of an eternity.

I love you, Dad.

I miss you, Dad.

I miss you so much...

All I want is to just be in your presence and to hug you once more.

Oh how hard it is to be around Mom and all of the family without you there as well...

How long must I wait to see you again???

I have read the words of sympathy offered by all who wrote and those who came to pay their respect to my brother Jeff. I still find it hard to accept that he is no longer here on earth with us. My consolation is that he has given us a wonderful addition to our family by bringing Lisa, Jenny, Patrick and Allison into our lives.

Jeff was a happy man. He had a wonderful wife and three beautiful children. He had his home and he had his job. He was educated and that was important to him. This all sounds so common and simple. That is the beauty of his life. That was all he wanted..his life with his family and their life with God.

I wish everyone could have known his kindness and his beauty. We are the fortunate ones. Although he was with us for such a short time, he showed us love and how to love. He showed us kindness and how to be kind. Most us all he has shown us how to live the life God has planned for us.He has done what he was put on earth to do, and now he is back with his Father. I for one will truly try to follow his example. I you all will, too.

On behalf of my mother, Lisa, and siblings, Patrick and Allison, I would like to thank everyone that has kept us in their thoughts and prayers. My dad was a wonderful man and it is unfortunate that his time on Earth with us was cut short. We are deeply saddened by his loss. Thanks to all of you who sent a card, flowers, money, brought by food or just called to see how we are doing. It is comforting to us in our time of grief. We are so blessed to have such loving friends and family and I know that my father is smiling down at all of you. Help keep the memory of Jeff alive. God bless.

Dear Anne and Anthony,

Jean and I want to express our condolences for the loss of your son Jeffery. It's been a long time but it seemed like yesterday to see him running around and playing on Tudor Rd. Farmingdale.

Dearest Jenny,

I was so saddened to read about your father's untimely passing. Although I did not know him, children reflect their parents' values and character...I know what a fine young woman you are and so I know exactly what a fine man he was. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that you feel God's comfort in a very real and powerful way and that He wil sustain you in all that you need to do in the days ahead.

Lovingly,

Connie

Dear family, friends,

I am at complete loss of words to say at this time of need except I am truly sorry for the loss of a wonderful and beloved Mr. Noto. He was a good friend of mine and my dad's Keith Wilson, whom he worked for in Monroe. May God be with you and your families in this time of need and always.

With much love

Alicia and I enjoyed a wonderful evening with Jeff, Lisa, and the kids in March. Mostly, we talked about my family's move to North Carolina from New York. I am so thankful I had those few hours with my Uncle. They made us feel so at home. He was excited that we would be close to him and his family, and we were excited also. I want Lisa, Jenny, Patrick, and Allison to know that we will always be here for anything they need. We love you Uncle Jeff. We will miss you deeply. God bless you.

To the Noto FamilY:

There is no doubt that Jeff's life touched all those he came in contact with through his dedication to his church, his family and his community activities. I know the pain is deep, but I hope you take comfort in knowing that one day you will all be reunited in the kingdom of Heaven where Jeff will be waiting for you with open arms. Please know that I will continue to keep your entire family in my prayers.
