This information is provided by Coulson, James (JC) CAPG who wrote his eulogy. Who also added, "Noel was a man with a great sense of humor. Devoted husband and father, and a Naval Officer who led from the front!" Coulson also said, "I was fortunate to be his assistant Maintenenace Officer in VAQ-130 and then his Maintenance Officer in VAQ-136. He was my mentor, and my best friend in uniform. Giving his eulogy was perhaps the hardest thing I had to do."
