Salvador Cruz Noble

His Father was Fulgencio Noble

And his mother was Paulina De La Cruz

He was the youngest of 8 siblings.

He had a passion for music and became a dancer and singer. He was an idol to his community and very popular with the girls, particularly with one. Bienvenida Iglesias Javier. It was love at first sight.

They were married in the Philippines and had their first child. But what was to happen after was life changing and overwhelming. They were to enter a new world that was very unfamiliar and overwhelming.

At the age of 26 years old on December 6, 1966, Buddy and his family arrived to the United States of America to begin a new chapter their lives. 26 years old.

Not soon after, Buddy had a second child to raise and support. He went from being a young idol to his community, to becoming a young husband and father ready to provide and serve his family the best he can.

Buddy worked for Ford Motor Company for 40 years starting in their cafeteria to becoming an assembly man and more. Through his times at Ford, he would work overtime, up to 80 hours a week. If there were no overtime, he would work two jobs just to fulfill his American dream of owning a house and supporting his family.

Buddy had a big heart. He opened his home to people in need of a place to stay. We housed so many people, like Uncle Ernie, Uncle Oliver, the Manalos, Romy Noble, and much more. They became family. We became really close to them, even until now.

Although it may have seemed like Buddy had no life, you could not be more wrong. He still had his passion for dancing and singing. In fact, he was very popular with his family and friends of his talent. He also was a bowling champion, a hunter, golfer, a fisherman, and even did hacky sack, all to escape the everyday stress and battles of making a living. He even made a band consisting of all 4 of his kids. It was called the Noble band, go figure…

He was also able to buy his toys he cherished. A GTO, Cadilac, his Corvette that we all loved and drove with out his permission.

He loved working with his hands. He would customize the houses we lived in with his talent of woodwork and brick laying all around the house making it look unique and mesmerizing to the eyes.

Buddy lived a full life. He was even able to hold the title of Great Grandfather to his great grandchildren.

Buddy Noble will always be loved and appreciated by those he loved and all he had befriended and helped along the way.

He is survived by his loving wife Bienvenida Noble,

His four kids Udong, Andrew, Sanna, and Louie.

His Grandkids Patrick Jr, Apolonia, Miriah, Jacob, Salina, Rosalianna, Lou Jr., Nya, Lily, and Andrew Jr.

And 7 great grand children, Alice Ellie, Parker, Jason Jr., Evie, Damon and Kalei

Buddy Noble is loved and will be missed. May he rest in peace.
