Deeply sadden to learn of the passing of Noel, as my time goes back to 1949 when he started school at Greenhills. Jumping ahead a number of years he was digging out for underpasses when I was at South Roads, certainly a good chap from a good Family.

I remember when Noel and Annette got their house across from us in Weka Street - as I was only a kid I remember a mountain of a man - Annette would cut our hair and I would babysit for them when I was old enough. Noel was a great dad and husband. Such a loss. Condolences to Annette and family. Lorraine Rowe (Price)
