Noel, fondly known as Jimmy/Jim, was born July 20, 1936 in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
As a young child, he immigrated to the United Kingdom and as a young adult worked in the Royal Air Force as a mechanic. His professional life consisted of a plethora of service orientated employment where he shared his love of the Lord and displayed his steadfast work ethics.
Jim was devoted to his wife Amrita, married 38 years, to his children, and his loyal loving pet Chew-Chew Baba. Jim loved sports and was a keen cricketer in his youthful days. He was also an avid baseball and football fan; his passion for the New York Yankees and the New York Giants was evident to all who knew him well.
Jim fought many medical challenges within the last 10 years. Just as he dealt with all experiences in life, Jim managed his illnesses with strength and God’s grace. On his final day, Jim passed away at home with his beloved wife Amrita and his daughter Denise by his side.
His life and memories will be cherished by his wife Amrita Chew, daughters Denise Chew and Evelyn Chew-van Dongen, son-in-law Arjan van Dongen, by many beloved extended family members, friends, and his church family at Hudson View Baptist Church.
Jim’s loving presence, humor, and generous spirit will be deeply missed.
