R.I.P. Noel - You Will be Sadly Missed

[MikeWooldridge]

absolutely heartbreaking to hear of the passing away of noel, one of the most interesting, funny, gracious people i have ever had the opportunity to get to know.

i shared many email and facebook conversations with noel and he never ceased to amaze me with his wealth of knowledge and 'left-field' thinking.

one of the last messages i received gave me a real boost in a new venture of mine, but tinged with sadness knowing of his own personal desperate battle:

You know I find seeing things differently to be incredibly stimulating, even inspirational. I never said how proud I was of you to know that you were becoming a luthier... awesome!
So I share with you one of the most beautiful guitars ever made IMHO,
one which may just contain the "lost chord".
By Picasso early 1900's.

today, i feel truly devastated that noel is no longer with us and am so sad that i will no longer have the pleasure of his 'company'.

R.I.P. my dear, dear friend.

This is terrible news and very sad.
Noel was a very funny, unique clever person who put his own special stamp on things and will be sadly missed.

My thoughts and best wishes are with his family

Rest in peace my friend.......

That's very sad news. Noel was a great contributor in his time on this forum, and one of the most unique and interesting characters around.

He will be sadly missed...

Life is so unfair. Noel was one my my first friends on the forum and made me feel very welcome. I can't believe we'll no longer be in contact. My thoughts are with his nearest and dearest. RIP Noel.

Very sad news. I have had many interesting conversations with Noel in Facebook. He was a great man. Rest in peace, Noel.

[Mignon]

I feel like sharing this with you - I'm sure he wouldn't mind. He was so proud of his daughters and of his son. And I'd like to remember him laughing.




One of the good days > L-R Caitlin, Noel, Miles, Emily




RIP, Noel. I'll miss you, my friend.

Noel was a sensational bloke with such a fantastic sense of humour. I loved having him on this forum, even if he did slightly annoy me. Rest in peace buddy. A pleasure to have you with us on here.
