So many wonderful memories I have of the Noel family. Bits & Spurs saddle club, Pony Express & camping. They took me in when my mom was so sick & in Rochester. I learned lots of things during that time! Good & bad. Dave you are a truly great man & hero to all. You're so loved & will be missed. My love to Julie, Jeannie & Chuck.
