Samuel Noh

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of Dr. Samuel Noh on October 11, 2023, at the age of 76, in the presence of his beloved family.

Samuel was born on the 23rd of November, 1946, in Shin-Ee-Joo, North Korea (before there were two Koreas), to Noh Myung-Gap and Lee Joeng-Soon. On October 6, 1970, he united in love with Kyoung-Ai Noh in South Korea. Their journey led them to Canada in 1971, where they found their home and raised their children in London, Ontario.

Samuel loved to travel with his wife and visited many parts of the world for personal and professional reasons. In retirement, he resided in Toronto, Ontario and enjoyed playing golf with both family and friends and travel became golf trips.

He was a beloved son, a caring sibling, a devoted spouse, a nurturing parent, and an adoring grandparent. His kindness and generosity extended to his friends and co-workers as well.

Samuel is survived by his cherished wife, Kyoung-Ai Noh, his son and daughter-in-law, Paul Noh and Moon Jong Lee, his daughter and son-in-law, Marianne Noh and Yoonjai Shin, and his adored granddaughter, Ashley Noh. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends far and wide.

Dr. Samuel Noh's dedication to his work left a lasting and positive impact on various communities. His passion for helping others led to his becoming a leading specialist in discrimination and mental health. As a social scientist, his contributions not only advanced the field but also inspired further exploration into the unique experiences of Korean immigrants in North America.

For all those who wish to pay their respects, a Public Visitation is scheduled for Friday, October 20th, from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Kane-Jerrett Funeral Homes (6191 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario).

For family and friends, a Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, October 21st, with a viewing at 10:30 am and the service commencing at 11:00 am at Kane-Jerrett Funeral Homes (6191 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario).

Dr. Samuel Noh may be absent from our sight, but his spirit will reside in the hearts and memories of many. His life was filled with numerous wonderful attributes, and though we cannot recount them all here, may they continue to inspire us all.
