Noel Levee

Noel Levee, left suddenly on July 31, 2024 to be the historian of the great beyond. He was born on July 1, 1952 in Amsterdam, NY, the son of Urban and Mary Dillon Levee.
He is survived by his wife Catharine Plumadore Levee, whom he married on August 23, 1980. He is also survived by his daughter Laura (Jeff); his buddy and grandson, Zachary; sister-in-law Margaret Piazza (Frank); and numerous extended family members.
He was a graduate of Wilbur Lynch High School and attended FMCC and SUNY New Paltz. He worked for many years at Lee Dye in Johnstown, NY, where he met his future wife at the urging of a friend. He worked for 34 years at Taylor in Gloversville and made many friends during those years.
He was a talented artist, a former rodeo bull rider, a Datsun 240Z enthusiast, but most of all a soul born in the wrong century. In the 1980s he joined the 3rd Tryon County Militia, beginning a decades long passion for reenacting. He went on to form his own regiment, the 1st Canadian Regiment, and was a founding member of the Burning of Valleys Military Association.
He proudly served as the City of Johnstown Historian since 1995, and more recently also served as the Town of Johnstown Historian. He was past President of the Johnstown Historical Society and continued to serve for decades as a board member.
He had the unique opportunity to be a part of several historical movie productions including "Divided Loyalties", a Canadian TV movie, and the "The Last of the Mohicans". He was also featured in two on-screen scenes in "The Patriot", with Mel Gibson.
A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.
Memorial donations in Noel's memory may be made to the Johnstown Historical Society, 17 N William Street, Johnstown, NY 12095.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the A.G. Cole Funeral Home Inc., 215 E. Main Street, Johnstown, NY.
