My sympathy to Gerald's family & prayers for each of you in your time of mourning.  My Uncle was the most gentle man I have ever known, always with a smile on his face & a memory to share; in particular how I "hogged" his camera as a child. Gerald, I know you are now reunited with your family in heaven and put yet another bright star in the sky.  You will be missed.  We love you.

Agnes,Larry,Terri,Ellen & families:
 So sorry for the loss of your loved one.
Our loss is Heaven's gain. We have that
blessed hope of always seeing our loved
ones again. I'm looking forward to see-
-ing many.  First my Lord,My Mother,Dad,
(who was Geralds mother's brother, my
sisters, brothers, and many,many more.
  To be absent from the body is to be
present with the Lord.  I will never
forget Gerald because whenever we saw
him--he always had the big smile on his
face. He must surely have a big smile 
there now.

Agnes and Family: Our deepest sympathy goes out to you,  Gerald is my cousin ,his mother and my dad were siblings and tho we didn't see each other much, only at visitations, he always knew who I was and always had a hug for me and then caught me up on what was happening in his life. He always had a smile. I know he will be missed . Our prayers will be with you.

Gerald was my great uncle.  Growing up, I had many memories of Gerald especially at Christmas where we had a Christmas lunch and dinner at Gerald and Ags house.  I remember uncle Gerald showing me a really neat model train track and a hidden garden in their basement.  Back in the days when video games were up and coming, this really showed a much simpler side to keeping entertained without sitting in front of the tv for hours.  Gerald really found time to keep busy, and 92 years of living, he certainly got a lot out of life.  During my first job at Krogers in Bartonville, I saw Gerald early in the morning shopping, usually in the produce section (where I worked for a long time) getting apples.  He'd always find time to stop and say hi and see how things were going.  When I transferred to the Kroger store on Sterling Avenue in Peoria, I had seen Gerald at the same time in the morning, getting apples in the produce section.  And like the times in Bartonville, he'd stop and say hi.  Where he's at now, there's plenty of gardens to tend to, plenty of wood to make furniture out of, and of course, plenty of apples.  In John 14:1-3, Jesus asks us to trust in Him and in God, for He has prepared a place for us in Heaven.  When we meet God, we'll be reunited with Gerald once again.  Until then, Gerald will be watching his family and friends from Heaven.

Larry & Family,  

We are sad to read of Gerald's passing. I worked with Gerry at Caterpillar's Production Technology, Inc. (Inertia Welders) from 1973 to 1976. Then I worked with you at the Mossville Engine Center in the 1990's and 2000's. Being able to work with a father and son holds a special place in my memory. We hope the many happy memories will help you and your family get through this most difficult time. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. He was my mother, Ruby Noble Millers cousin. As the years go by, we all drift apart. I remember as a young girl going to Uncle George and Aunt Mildreds house just a block away from Grandpa Ben's house. I hope God gives you the strength in your hour of need.

My deepest sympathy. Have known Gerald (Mr. Noble) since the 1950's having grown up across the street. He was dedicated to his family.

Dear Joel, Sarah, Reagan, Henry, and Luke:  We are so sorry for the loss of your grandfather.  I'm sure you will all miss having dinner with him and playing games outdoors.  I know he loved to be outdoors taking care of his yard.  Maybe he is gardening in heaven now.  He will be missed!  Love, Skip, Diane, Lil Skip Pierson

Celebrating a life well lived.  I have many family memories to keep, among the best are the Noble Christmas Eve gatherings.
