We send our sincerest condolences to the Noble family.
Colin, I have fond memories of your dad, he always had a smile, quirky sense of humour and a kind word to share. I remember him giving our son Marc and other youngsters in the neighbourhood summer employment on his property. He encouraged young entrepreneurs wanting to get a start.
May you be comforted in his memory during this difficult time.
