Smith, Noble E.
Age 85
Passed on November 12, 2011
He was preceded by his parents. Survived by his loving wife, Mary C. "Kutch" (Walsh); daughter, Stephanie (Mike) Quinn; sons, Dan (Laurie), Steve (Judy), Dave and Donald "D.J."; 7 grandchildren; 8 great grandchildren; special lifelong friends, Donald "Red" Loehr, Doug Black and preceded by John Splinter. Noble was born January 8, 1926 to Ira and Loretta in Proctor and graduated from Morgan Park High School. Shortly after, he enlisted in the Army Air Corp during World War II. After his time in the service he moved to St. Paul where he met his lovely wife, Mary and they married in 1954. Noble and Mary settled in their house in the Como Park area of St. Paul to raise their 5 children, and quite a combination of cats and dogs along the way. Noble will be remembered for his amazing repoir with the outdoors, his ability to maximize the insignificant, and his true love for life on his terms. He spent his summers at his cabin on Gun Lake, fishing and gabbing with the neighbors and his winters at the "Bunkcar" where he and Mary consistently put hundreds of miles snowmobiling every winter. He cut, hauled, diced, split, and stacked close to a cord of wood every year which was used to heat the cabin. He was truly most comfortable when he spent time in the woods. There wasn't a bird he couldn't name, or a tree he couldn't identify, and we actually believe the chick-e-dees followed him in the woods so he could feed them from his hand during deer season. He had a very unique ability to tell a story, and rarely was there one told by him that wouldn't capture your interest. He had so much quality in his life, and his resolve, resilience, and longevity certainly proved that. Memorials in lieu of flowers. Gathering of family and friends Tuesday, November 15th from 4-8PM at BRADSHAW:
