Although we came from different towns and schools, Noah and I ultimately formed a bond deep and rich with tradition and history.  We were known as "The Jew & The Gentile", and we threw parties traveled by many and still talked about till this day.  He will be missed by all, but I will continue that tradition of hospitality and generosity he was known for, and I hope to bring everyone together who knew Noah, once again!

Inexorable sorrow. My friend gone too soon. Grief and shock. My condolences to all Noah's friends and family.

Noah was a good guy and will be missed.  He was smart, always positive, compassionate, and very funny.  My condolences to the family.

My condolences to Noah's family. I played baseball with Noah at Oberlin for two years.  He was a great teammate, competitor and ballplayer and he was very funny.

Noah
Was my buddy and closest friend at Oberlin college.  He was a gem of a person and a great spirit. My heartfelt condolences to his family. May his soul rest in peace.

I well remember, and cherish the memory of Noah in my office and in my classroom at Rutgers Law School.  We all mourn the loss of this remarkable, brilliant young man.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to you, David and Jessica, and the rest of the Pressler family.

-Andy Rothman, Associate Dean

I was deeply saddened to hear of Noah's passing.  I was his Latin teacher at Oberlin and came to know him as a bright, good-natured man, and a loyal alumnus of Oberlin.

Noah was a student in my nursery school class at Temple Sinai in my first year of teaching. I can remember him vividly as an articulate, handsome, bright light in the classroom. My heart aches for his dad, Jessica, and the entire family.

We were deeply saddened to learn the news of Noah's death. We remember him as part of the first class enrolled at Temple Sinai's brand new preschool and as one of our daughter Kira's favorite playmates and friend. When she turned forty this past year, we thought of those wonderful early years and the many youngsters who shared them with her -- including, of course, Noah. 

Our hearts are filled with sorrow and we send our most loving condolences to Noah's father, his sister and his family.

I am so saddened to hear of Noah's passing.   I have many fond indelible memories of our times together at Oberlin.  He kept me laughing though college and was always willing to lend a helping hand.  I will miss him.

I can not believe that Noah, whom my family and I knew as a brilliant and sensitive young boy and later on man, is gone. He and my daughter, Amy, were childhood,playmates,classmates and close friends. All of us are shocked beyond belief. We send his father, David, and sister, Jessica, our sincerest sympathy on this sad day.

Noah was a cousin of mine.  We saw each other once or twice per year, usually at his home in Englewood for Passover or his home in Sparta during the summer or at my parents' house.  As other's have mentioned a trademark of Noah was that he gave everyone attention regardless of their "status."  This for me and many others as well, most importantly his father David Pressler, is all too much of a sudden loss.

On behalf of Dwight-Englewood School, we send our deepest condolences to Mr. Pressler and Jessica.  Noah was a bright star while a student at the school. He will be missed by many.  Godspeed Noah. Maria Sanchez Gardner '78-Alumni Director

I met Noah after the year when I served with his mother as an Appellate Division Judge and she invited my husband and me to bring our son for a day at the lake. Not many young men (Noah must have been around 25 or 30 at the time) would have taken the time to pay attention to a younger guy, or at least to a young man like my 18 year old son, who is profoundly autistic and non-verbal. But Noah delighted him by roaring him around the lake in a speedboat until he was all smiles. I like to think that, years later, when he was again on a speedboat, this time with my husband at Disney, and he was grinning and laughing, that he was thinking about Noah. We will remember Noah as a kind and compassionate soul who will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with all of you. Helen E. Hoens (NJ Supreme Court, ret.)

Noah was a distinguished student at Dwight-Englewood, spirited and intellectual.  He livened up all his classes and was an important part of the social life of the school.  I remember working with him on the 100th anniversary history book for the school and also watching him as he made his way through Oberlin and beyond.  My sincerest condolences to the family.

I woke up this morning to hear some news I did not want to believe, I did not want to believe my good friend Noah had passed. I met him through a mutual friend and he helped me through the worst situation I've ever been through in my life and he didn't even know me. It just showed what kind of person he was. Noah was a good friend and will be missed

Noah was just a little 4 years old adorable boy when I first met him.He was a ring bearer at my wedding.I love him very much, he will live forever in my heart. My deepest sympathy to Mr.Pressler & Jessica with Family

My family moved next door to Noah's home when we were both in elementary school.  Although I knew Noah so briefly, I have so many fond memories of playing with Noah.  He and I recently talked about a reunion and I'm so saddened to hear of his passing.  He will be greatly missed.

Noah was a little boy when I clerked for Sylvia.  He was always curious and interested in what was happening when he visited chambers.  I know his family will miss him terribly.  May he rest in peace.

Noah was a dear friend and will be missed by so many. My best memories of Noah are from serving with him in student government at Dwight-Englewood, when he was student body president. His charisma, sense of humor, warmth, vision and fun loving personality always shined. He will forever.live on in my heart as a noble and true friend.

OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO DAVID AND FAMILY.  TONY AND JOANNE

Noah had a smile that even 20 years later, is unforgettable.  He was one of my favored classmates at Oberlin.  Prayers to those who loved him.

We mourn the untimely passing of a young, bright, articulate and beautiful person.  It is incredible that Noah passed away on the same day, January 16th, that our beloved son, Jerry did,just two years ago.  Both lives were filled with promises and the world is a poorer place without them.
