Condolences to Noel family. Back in 1970 in the years of Noel´s Farming in Piharma. In the drought years the farmers got jobs to financially get through the summer. Noel got a job at Waitara Bothworks meat works along beside my husband Graeme in the same situation because of drought. They both became friends and Noel came to dinner a number of times during his weekly stays at north Taranaki while his wife Val did the farm and small children He became a good respected friend. All our children were very young and we made a few visits to his farm in those years. We were also lucky to visit his wife Val at NP hospital in her last days and attend her funeral. Noel we often talked about you and your were very happy and fun to be around. Sad to read of your passing. Just a little history that family don´t probably know. From Graeme and Lesley ROWE MOTUNUI.

Thank you, Noel, for the unconditional love and support you have given us over the years. We watched as you faced your illness this past year with remarkable strength-never complaining, always meeting each day with a smile or a laugh. Your courage and spirit were an inspiration to us all. We will miss you dearly, and your memory will forever remain in our hearts.
