For 62 years, Noel shared a beautiful life with his devoted wife, Lydia Gonzalez Munoz. Together, they built a family rooted in love and support for one another. Their home was a place of warmth, laughter, and hospitality, where family and friends were always welcomed with open arms.

Noel was known for his larger-than-life personality, infectious sense of humor, and remarkable ability to make everyone feel at home. He never met a stranger, and his presence brought comfort, laughter, and joy to those around him. His love for family was evident in everything he did, and the values he instilled will continue to guide future generations.
